Optimal Matching between Shapes via Elastic Deformations (to Appear in Image and Vision Computing Journal)
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe an elasting matching procedure between plane curves based on computing a minimal deformation cost between the curves. The design of the deformation cost is based on a geodesic distance deened on an innnite dimensional group acting on the curves. The geodesic paths also provide an optimal deformation process, which allows to interpolate between any plane curves.

On Analyzing Symmetry of Objects using Elastic Deformations
We introduce a framework for analyzing symmetry of 2D and 3D objects using elastic deformations of their boundaries. The basic idea is to define spaces of elastic shapes and to compute shortest (geodesic) paths between the objects and their reflections using a Riemannian structure. Elastic matching, based on optimal (nonlinear) re-parameterizations of curves, provides a better registration of p...
متن کاملDetermining the similarity of deformable shapes
Determining the similarity of two shapes is a significant task in both machine and human vision systems that must recognize or classify objects. The exact properties of human shape similarity judgements are not well understood yet, and this task is particularly difficult in domains where the shapes are not related by rigid transformation. In this paper we identify a number of possibly desirable...
متن کاملEvaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching
Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...
متن کاملMeasuring 3D shape similarity by graph-based matching of the medial scaffolds
We propose to measure 3D shape similarity by matching a medial axis ðMAÞ based representation—the medial scaffold ðMSÞ. Shape similarity is measured as the minimum extent of deformation necessary for one shape to match another, guided by representing the shapes using the MS. This approach is an extension of an approach to match 2D shapes by matching their shock graphs, whereas here in 3D the MS...
متن کاملAI-EigenSnake: an affine-invariant deformable contour model for object matching
An af®ne-invariant (AI) deformable contour model for object matching, called AI-EigenSnake (AI-ES), is proposed in the Bayesian framework. In AI-ES, the prior distribution of object shapes is estimated from the sample data. This distribution is then used to constrain the prototype contour, which is dynamically adjustable in the matching process. In this way, large shape deformations due to the ...
