Shape matching has many applications in computer vision, such as shape classification, object recognition, object detection, and localization. In 2D cases, shape instances are 2D c...
Most object detection techniques discussed in the literature are based solely on texture-based features that capture the global or local appearance of an object. While results indi...
We present a unified method for simultaneously acquiring both the location and the silhouette shape of people in outdoor scenes. The proposed algorithm integrates top-down and bot...
Skeletonization algorithms typically decompose an object’s
silhouette into a set of symmetric parts, offering a
powerful representation for shape categorization. However,
havi...

—Shortest paths have been used to segment object boundaries with both continuous and discrete image models. Although these techniques are well defined in 2D, the character of the...
