It is proved that the shape of the typical cell of a stationary and isotropic Poisson random hyperplane tessellation is, with high probability, close to the shape of a ball if the ...
Both example-based and model-based approaches for classifying contour shapes can encounter difficulties when dealing with classes that have large nonlinear variability, especially...
This paper presents a novel approach to the on-line signature verification using local shape Analysis. First, segment the input signature into several segments using HMM (Hidden M...
Abstract. This paper presents a novel active surface segmentation algorithm using a multiscale shape representation and prior. We define a parametric model of a surface using spher...

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 ...
