A spectral approach to shape-based retrieval of articulated 3D models

V Jain, H Zhang - Computer-Aided Design, 2007 - Elsevier
We present an approach for robust shape retrieval from databases containing articulated 3D
models. Each shape is represented by the eigenvectors of an appropriately defined affinity …

Medial axis shape coding in macaque inferotemporal cortex

CC Hung, ET Carlson, CE Connor - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com

On the use of graph parsing for recognition of isolated hand postures of Polish Sign Language

M Flasiński, S Myśliński - Pattern Recognition, 2010 - Elsevier
A novel method of recognition of hand postures of Polish Sign Language (PSL) is presented
in the paper. The method is based on a syntactic pattern recognition paradigm. A …
