This paper presents a method for recovering deformable shape and motion from uncalibrated 2D video sequence in the presence of missing data. Highly deformable shapes are hard to describe under previously used assumptions, such as global constraint enforcing shapes to lie within a linear subspace. Considering that the data dimensionality may not represent the true complexity of the problem, we s...
