We represent a shape representation technique using the eigenfunctions of Laplace-Beltrami operator and compare the performance with the conventional spherical harmonic (SPHARM) r...
Modeling, characterization and analysis of biological shapes and forms are important in many computational biology studies. Shape representation challenges span the spectrum from s...

Abstract. We propose two differential geometric representations of planar shapes using: (i) direction functions and (ii) curvature functions, of their boundaries. Under either rep...

Similarity measuring is a key problem for 3D model retrieval. In this paper, we propose a novel shape descriptor "Thickness Histogram" (TH) by uniformly estimating thick...

Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations....
