In this paper, a novel Patch Geodesic Derivative Pattern (PGDP) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. Geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3D images with different pose and expression variations. An extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available Bosphorus and BU-3...

In this project, we proposed a novel framework to solve the shape analogies problem between 3D shape collections. Instead of using geometric features based on individuals to describe each shape, we leveraged the idea that fine grained characteristic of a shape can be defined by other similar shapes, and used relationship within collections to depict shapes. To capture the abstract relationship,...

In this paper we present a novel 2D shape context preserving image manipulation approach which constructs and manipulates a 2D mesh with a new differential mesh editing algorithm. We introduce a novel shape context descriptor and integrate it into the deformation framework, facilitating shape-preserving deformation for 2D anatomical illustrations. Our new scheme utilizes an analogy based shape ...

This paper presents a novel multi scale gradient and a corner point based shape descriptors. The novel multi scale gradient based shape descriptor is combined with generic Fourier descriptors to extract contour and region based shape information. Shape information based object class detection and classification technique with a random forest classifier has been optimized. Proposed integrated de...

This work introduces a novel concept of modular, shape-adaptable sandwich panel with distributed actuation system based on shape memory alloys (SMA). The consists modular arrangement rigid cells connected compliant active joints. Each joint hosts SMA wire, which can be controlled independently, enabling the to achieve multiple shapes and complex curvatures single design. A numerical model actua...

Regular and symmetry shapes occurred in natural manufactured objects. Detecting these are essential still tricky task computer vision. This paper proposes a novel hierarchical shape detection (HiSD) method, which consists of circularity roundness detection, regularity phases. The first phase recognizes the circular elliptical using aspect ratio measurements. second phase, main HiSD, regular den...
