We propose a new deformable shape model Active Shape Structural Model (ASSM) for recognition and reconstruction. The main features of ASSM are: (1) It describes variations of shape...
In this paper we describe the development of an interactive virtual reality (VR) system that aims to realistically simulate specific paracentesis clinical procedures (particularly ...

Physically based modeling of deformable objects such as cloth or human tissue has grown to be very important for virtual simulations. However, interactive simulation of these nonl...
In order to achieve precise, accurate and reliable tracking of human movement, a 3D human model that is very similar to the subject is essential. In this paper, we present a new sy...
In this paper, a new framework for the tracking of closed curves is described. The proposed approach, formalized through an optimal control technique, enables a continuous trackin...
