Morphological Exploration of Shape Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to propose efficient tools for analysing shape families using morphological operators. The developments include the definition of shape statistics (mean and variance of shapes, modes of shape variation) and the interpolation/extrapolation in shape geodesic paths. The main required ingredients for the operators and the algorithms here introduced are well known in mathematical morphology such as the median set, the watershed on distance functions or the interpolation function. In addition, the projection of shapes in spaces with reduced dimensions using PCA or ISOMAP techniques permits to apply morphological interpolation techniques in shape manifolds.

Towards simultaneous meta-modeling for both the output and input spaces in the context of design shape optimization using asynchronous high-performance computing
In this paper, we propose a simultaneous meta-modeling protocol for both input and output spaces. We perform a reparametrization of the input space using constrained shape interpolation by introducing the concept of an α-manifold of admissible meshed shapes. The output space is reduced using constrained Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. By simultaneously using meta-modeling for both spaces, we f...
متن کاملDynamic Multi-View Exploration of Shape Spaces
Statistical shape modeling is a widely used technique for the representation and analysis of the shapes and shape variations present in a population. A statistical shape model models the distribution in a high dimensional shape space, where each shape is represented by a single point. We present a design study on the intuitive exploration and visualization of shape spaces and shape models. Our ...
متن کاملMorphological Semigroups and Scale-Spaces on Ultrametric Spaces
Morphological semigroups for functions on length spaces have recently studied [2], whose basic ingredients are the convolution in the (max,+)-algebra (or supremal convolution), the metric distance and a convex shape function. Links with Hamilton–Jacobi PDE on length spaces appears also naturally. These semigroups lead to powerful scale-space properties for multiscale filtering, regularization a...
متن کاملMorphological changes in the corpus callosum: a study using joint Riemannian feature spaces
Shape, scale, orientation and position, the physical features associated with white matter DTI tracts, can either individually or in combination be used to define feature spaces. Recent work by Mani et al. describes a Riemannian framework in which these joint feature spaces are considered. In this paper, we use the tools and metrics defined within this mathematical framework to study morphologi...
متن کاملSituative Creativity 1 Running Head: Situative Creativity Situative Creativity: Larger Physical Spaces Facilitate Thinking of Novel Uses for Everyday Objects
People often use spatial metaphors (e.g., think “laterally”, “outside the box”) to describe exploration of the problem space during creative problem solving. In this paper, we probe the potential cognitive underpinnings of these spatial metaphors. Drawing on theories of situative cognition, semantic foraging theory, and environmental psychology, we formulate and test the hypothesis that larger ...
