Accurate detection of symmetries in 3D shapes [PDF]
We propose an automatic method for finding symmetries of 3D shapes, that is, isometric transforms which leave a shape globally unchanged. These symmetries are deterministically found through the use of an intermediate quantity: the generalized moments.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation for the Offset-Normal Shape Distributions Using EM [PDF]
The offset-normal shape distribution is defined as the induced shape distribution of a Gaussian distributed random configuration in the plane. Such distributions were introduced by Dryden and Mardia (1991) and represent an important parameterized family ...

Li-Tect: 3-D Monitoring and Shape Detection Using Visible Light Sensors
In this paper, we propose Li-Tect, an algorithm to detect the shape of an object located in an indoor environment using low cost optical elements through sensing the environment’s light.

Ventral-stream-like shape representation: from pixel intensity values to trainable object-selective COSFIRE models [PDF]
The remarkable abilities of the primate visual cortex have inspired the construction of computational models of some visual neurons. We propose a trainable hierarchical object recognition model, which we call S-COSFIRE (S stands for Shape and COSFIRE ...

Sensitivity for global shape detection
In order to understand the nature of the mechanisms responsible for global shape detection, we measured coherence thresholds in a 2IFC task where subjects judged which of two arrays of Gabors contained global circular structure. The stimulus was composed of an array of oriented Gabor patches positioned on a polar grid.

In Good Shape: Robust People Detection based on Appearance and Shape [PDF]
Robustly detecting people in real world scenes is a fundamental and challenging task in computer vision. State-of-the-art approaches use powerful learning methods and manually annotated image data. Importantly, these learning based approaches rely on the fact that the collected training data is representative of all relevant variations necessary to ...

Discriminatively Trained And-Or Graph Models for Object Shape Detection [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate a novel reconfigurable part-based model, namely And-Or graph model, to recognize object shapes in images. Our proposed model consists of four layers: leaf-nodes at the bottom are local classifiers for detecting contour ...
