We illustrate a simple algorithm for approximating the medial axis of a 2D shape with smooth boundary from a sample of this boundary. The algorithm is compared to a more general a...
This paper presents a novel representation for human actions which encodes the variations in the shape and motion of the performing actor. When an actor performs an action, at eac...
We present data representations, distance measures and organizational structures for fast and efficient retrieval of similar shapes in image databases. Using the Hough Transform w...

In recent years point-based geometry has gained increasing attention as an alternative surface representation, both for efficient rendering and for flexible geometry processing of...
The Gaussian distribution is the basis for many methods used in the statistical analysis of shape. One such method is principal component analysis, which has proven to be a powerfu...
