A method is proposed for performing shape analysis of m-surfaces, e.g. planar curves and surfaces, with a geometric interpretation. The analysis uses an implicit surface represent...
Active contours are adapted to image segmentation by energy minimization. The energies often exhibit local minima, requiring regularization. Such an a priori can be expressed as a...

Image segmentation with shape priors has received a lot of attention over the past years. Most existing work focuses on a linearized shape space with small deformation modes aroun...
In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling 2D shapes. A shape is first described by a sequence of local features (e.g., curvature) of the shape boundary. The resulting ...
Abstract. Analysis of shape variability is important for diagnostic classification and understanding of biological processes. We present a novel shape analysis approach based on a ...
