Abstract. This paper describes the construction of 3D dynamic statistical deformable models for complex topological shapes. It significantly extents the existing framework in that ...
This paper presents a framework for construction of animated models from captured surface shape of real objects. Algorithms are introduced to transform the captured surface shape ...
Shape matching plays a prominent role in the analysis of medical and biological structures. Recently, a unifying framework was introduced for shape matching that uses mixture-model...
We present a novel geometric model for robot mapping suited for robots equipped with a laser range finder. The geometric representation is based on shape. Cyclic ordered sets of p...

In the statistical approach for self-organizing maps (SOMs), learning is regarded as an estimation algorithm for a Gaussian mixture model with a Gaussian smoothing prior on the ce...
