Abstract. This paper presents a novel and efficient method for locating deformable shapes in cluttered scenes. The shapes to be detected may undergo arbitrary translational and rot...
A novel method of incorporating shape information into the image segmentation process is presented. We introduce a representation for deformable shapes and define a probability di...

A method of extracting, classifying and modelling non-rigid shapes from an image sequence is presented. Shapes are approximated by polygons where the number of sides is related to...
In this paper a computational model called dynamic medial axis (DMA) is proposed to describe the internal evolution of planar shapes. To define the DMA, a symbolic representation ...
We present a 2D shape recognition and classification method based on matching shape outlines. The correspondence between outlines (curves) is based on a notion of an alignment cur...
