In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is given a sequence of its observations. We define a term called ‘‘deformability index’’ (DI) ...
For a set S of points in Rd, an s-spanner is a graph on S such that any pair of points is connected via some path in the spanner whose total length is at most s times the Euclidea...
Linear and multi-linear models of object shape/appearance (PCA, 3DMM, AAM/ASM, multilinear tensors) have been very popular in computer vision. In this paper, we analyze the validi...
Web-based 3D facial animation is an alternative of face to face communication. Animating 3D human faces is also a difficult task because of the substantive non-rigid facial motions...
In this paper, we present an effective algorithm to construct a 3D shape atlas for the left ventricle of heart from cardiac Magnetic Resonance Image data. We derive a framework tha...
