Skeleton can be viewed as a compact shape representation in that the shape can be completely reconstructed form the skeleton. We present a novel method for skeleton pruning that is...
The global shape prior knowledge has been exploited by many image segmentation approaches in order to improve segmentation results when there are such problems as occlusion, clutt...
We present a shape representation and a matching method for nonrigid shapes with closed contours. The representation utilizes the areas of the triangles formed by the boundary poi...

In this paper, we address the issue of extracting contour of the object with a specific shape. A hierarchical graphical model is proposed to represent shape variations. A complex ...
Abstract. To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimal...
