Approximations of Shape Metrics and Application to Shape Warping and Empirical Shape Statistics
This paper proposes a framework for dealing with several problems related to the analysis of shapes. Two related such problems are the definition of the relevant set of shapes and that of defining a metric on it. Following a recent research monograph by Delfour and Zolésio [11], we consider the characteristic functions of the subsets of R2 and their distance functions. The L2 norm of the differ...
متن کاملShape metrics, warping and statistics
We propose to use approximations of shape metrics, such as the Hausdorff distance, to define similarity measures between shapes. Our approximations being continuous and differentiable, they provide an obvious way to warp a shape onto another by solving a Partial Differential Equation (PDE), in effect a curve flow, obtained from their first order variation. This first order variation defines a n...
متن کاملSurface Shape from Warping
We propose a novel variant of shape from shading which we call shape from image warping. The idea is that the three-dimensional shape of an object is estimated by determining how much the image of the object is warped with respect to the image of a known prototype shape. We demonstrate that, for a large class of reflectance functions, there is a direct relationship between these image warps and...
متن کاملDirectional Statistics and Shape
There have been various developments in shape analysis in the last decade. We describe here some relationships of shape analysis with directional statistics. For shape, rotations are to be integrated out or to be optimized over whilst they are the basis for directional statistics. However, various concepts are connected. In particular, certain distributions of directional statistics have emerge...
متن کاملSuperordinate shape classification using natural shape statistics.
This paper investigates the classification of shapes into broad natural categories such as animal or leaf. We asked whether such coarse classifications can be achieved by a simple statistical classification of the shape skeleton. We surveyed databases of natural shapes, extracting shape skeletons and tabulating their parameters within each class, seeking shape statistics that effectively discri...
