Directional Statistics and Shape
نویسنده
چکیده
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 emerged in shape analysis, such a distribution is Complex Bingham Distribution. This paper rst gives some background to shape analysis and then it goes on to directional distributions and their applications to shape analysis. Note that the idea of using tangent space for analysis is common to both manifold as well.

On some recent advancements in applied shape analysis and directional statistics
There have been some new advances in shape analysis (labelled and unlabelled) and directional statistics. The real push has come from applications in bioinformatics and images. We consider a few topics mostly coming from my collaborative work! The topics considered are as follows: • 3D reconstruction from 2D views (labelled) • Bayesian hierarchical alignment (unlabelled shape) • Directional mod...
متن کاملUsing Geometric Properties to Evaluate Possible Integration of Authoritative and Volunteered Geographic Information
The assessment of data quality from different sources can be considered as a key challenge in supporting effective geospatial data integration and promoting collaboration in mapping projects. This paper presents a methodology for assessing positional and shape quality for authoritative large-scale data, such as Ordnance Survey (OS) UK data and General Directorate for Survey (GDS) Iraq data, and...
متن کاملBelief Propagation with Directional Statistics for Solving the Shape-from-Shading Problem
The Shape-from-Shading [SfS] problem infers shape from reflected light, collected using a camera at a single point in space only. Reflected light alone does not provide sufficient constraint and extra information is required; typically a smoothness assumption is made. A surface with Lambertian reflectance lit by a single infinitely distant light source is also typical. We solve this typical SfS...
متن کاملA unifying approach to the shape and change-point hypotheses in the discrete univariate exponential family
A unifying approach to the shape and change-point hypotheses is extended generally to a discrete univariate exponential family. Themaximal contrast type tests are newly proposed for the convexity and sigmoidicity hypotheses based on the complete class lemma of tests for the restricted alternatives. Those tests are also efficient score tests for the slope changepoint and inflection point models,...
متن کاملStatistical methods for facial shape-from-shading and recognition
This thesis presents research aimed at improving the quality of facial shape information that can be recovered from single intensity images using shape-from-shading, with the aim of exploiting this information for the purposes of face recognition and view synthesis. The common theme throughout this thesis is the use of statistical methods to offer enhanced accuracy and robustness over existing ...
