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 ...
Isomap is an exemplar of a set of data driven nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques that have shown promise for the analysis of images and video. These methods parameteriz...
In this paper we introduce a framework for instrumenting (“rigging”) characters that are modeled as dynamic elastic bodies, so that their shapes can be controlled by an animat...

In this paper we propose a novel non-rigid volume registration based on discrete labeling and linear programming. The proposed framework reformulates registration as a minimal path...

Variation in object shape is an important visual cue for deformable object recognition and classification. In this paper, we present an approach to model gradual changes in the ?-...
