Towards Shape Understanding through Non-Parametric Shape Warping
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper pursues the idea of understanding shapes of unknown objects through establishing correspondence with points from the surface of known objects. A lot of geometryrelated knowledge, such as functionally correct grasps or object constellations, could thus be transferred from known shapes to novel shapes of the same or a similar category. As one critical module in such a system, this paper considers warping of surfaces in 3D across significant and possibly non-smooth shape variations. Results are shown for some objects from the Princeton Shape Benchmark and a range scan.

Warping as a modelling tool for CSG/implicit models
Free form deformations are useful for describing a class of complex motions within an animation system. Such deformations have been described using a generalization of parametric surfaces and their application to modeling is well documented. In this paper we present a method that can be applied to implicit surfaces which are defined as an iso-surface around a set of skeletal elements. The resul...
متن کاملSilhouette-based gesture and action recognition via modeling trajectories on Riemannian shape manifolds
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing human gestures from videos using models that are built from the Riemannian geometry of shape spaces. We represent a human gesture as a temporal sequence of human poses, each characterized by a contour of the associated human silhouette. The shape of a contour is viewed as a point on the shape space of closed curves and, hence, each gesture is char...
متن کاملStructure-oriented contour representation and matching for engineering shapes
Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations. However, engineering models created by some parametric-based design can involve large parametric changes. As a result, they do not share similarity in their global shape. Hence our goal is to develop shape representat...
متن کاملImage Warping for Shape Recovery and Recognition
We demonstrate that, for a large class of reflectance functions, there is a direct relationship between image warps and the corresponding geometric deformations of the underlying three-dimensional objects. This helps explain the hidden geometrical assumptions in object recognition schemes which involve two-dimensional image warping computed by matching image intensity. In addition, it allows us...
متن کاملA variational approach to blending based on warping for non-overlapped images
This paper presents a new model for image blending based on warping. The model is represented by partial differential equations (PDEs) and gives a sequence of images, which has the properties of both blending of image intensities and warping of image shapes. We modified the energy functional in [1] in order to adapt the idea of the shape warping to the image blending. The PDEs from the proposed...
