This paper describes a general purpose, representation independent method for the
accurate and computationally efficient registration of 3-D shapes including free-form curves …

The decomposition of deformations by principal warps is demonstrated. The method is
extended to deal with curving edges between landmarks. This formulation is related to other …

Fast Marching Methods are numerical schemes for computing solutions to the nonlinear
Eikonal equation and related static Hamilton--Jacobi equations. Based on entropy-satisfying …

This paper addresses the problem of parametric representation and estimation of complex
planar curves in 2-D, surfaces in 3-D and nonplanar space curves in 3-D. Curves and …

Pattern recognition, image processing and computer vision are closely linked areas which
have seen enormous progress in the last fifty years. Their applications in our daily life …

Deformable objects are ubiquitous in the world surrounding us, on all levels from micro to
macro. The need to study such shapes and model their behavior arises in a wide spectrum …

Matching of locally variant data to an explicit 3-dimensional pictorial model is developed for
X-ray computed tomography scans of the human brain, where the model is a voxel …

Inferring the 3D structures of nonrigidly moving objects from images is a difficult yet basic
problem in computational vision. Our approach makes use of dynamic, elastically …

This work describes an approach to finding objects in images based on deformable shape
models. Boundary finding in two and three dimensional images is enhanced both by …

This paper presents a literature survey of automatic 3D surface registration techniques
emphasizing the mathematical and algorithmic underpinnings of the subject. The relevance …
