This paper presents a new image segmentation framework which employs a shape prior in the form of an edge strength function to introduce a higher-level influence on the segmentati...
— We show that the Fisher-Rao Riemannian metric is a natural, intrinsic tool for computing shape geodesics. When a parameterized probability density function is used to represent...
Without a deformation model, monocular 3D shape recovery of deformable surfaces is severly under-constrained. Even when the image information is rich enough, prior knowledge of th...
This paper presents a novel landmark-based shape deformation method. This method effectively solves two problems inherent in landmark-based shape deformation: (a) identification o...
A hierarchical framework for the recognition of complex deformable shapes is developed. In extension to traditional approaches an additional layer of control is introduced to guid...
