Describing shape changes in the human mandible using elliptical Fourier functions.
Elliptical Fourier functions (EFF) were generated for the boundary outline of the mandibular form in 24 non-orthodontic growth study subjects at 9, 11, 13, and 15 years of age. The mean residual fit (observed versus predicted points) of the mandibular form was 0.11 mm, with a range from 0.09 to 0.14 mm, suggesting an accurate fit. The mean plot for each of the four age groups was area standardi...
متن کاملTime-Discontinuous Finite Element Analysis of Two-Dimensional Elastodynamic Problems using Complex Fourier Shape Functions
This paper reformulates a time-discontinuous finite element method (TD-FEM) based on a new class of shape functions, called complex Fourier hereafter, for solving two-dimensional elastodynamic problems. These shape functions, which are derived from their corresponding radial basis functions, have some advantages such as the satisfaction of exponential and trigonometric function fields in comple...
متن کاملSubtle Morphological Changes in the Mandible of Tabby Mice Revealed by Micro-CT Imaging and Elliptical Fourier Quantification
X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) is a genetic disorder due to a mutation of the EDA gene and is mainly characterized by an impaired formation of hair, teeth and sweat glands, and craniofacial dysmorphologies. Although tooth abnormalities in Tabby (Ta) mutant mice - the murine model of XLHED - have been extensively studied, characterization of the craniofacial complex, and more...
متن کاملHuman Shape Recognition using Fourier Descriptor
The aim of this study is to investigate Fourier Descriptor (FD) as feature vectors for shape representation and recognition since FD is the best known boundary based shape descriptor and has proven to outperform most other boundary based methods in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, FD is also invariant to geometric transformations and has good noise tolerance. The main concern regarding FD is the...
متن کاملEfficient Shape Retrieval Using Elliptical Shape Coding
This paper presents a novel shape representation, called elliptical shape coding, and uses it to develop an efficient shape retrieval algorithm. The elliptical shape coding transforms an original shape, which is a single, closed contour in our experiments, into a periodic signal. The alignment between two shapes is accomplished efficiently by performing convolution of the corresponding periodic...
