A flexible geometric model for leaf shape descriptions with high accuracy [PDF]
Silva Fennica, 2018 Accurate assessment of canopy structure is crucial in studying plant-environment interactions. The advancement of functional-structural plant models (FSPM), which incorporate the 3D structure of individual plants, increases the need for a method for ...

Landmark-free statistical shape modelling reveals effects of age and sex on whole muscle morphology among the triceps surae [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe shape of skeletal muscle has important influences on muscle function, yet studies of three-dimensional shape variation are rarely performed. Analysis of muscle shape variation using traditional tools is limited by lack of anatomical landmarks, but ...

Pedigree Aerodynamic Shape Design of High-Speed Trains [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2022 The aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains is closely related to their head shape. As each train set has its own modelling system, the aerodynamic shape design of head type of a high-speed train must follow a pedigree modelling approach.

Approaches to modelling the shape of nanocrystals
Nano Convergence, 2021 Unlike in the bulk, at the nanoscale shape dictates properties. The imperative to understand and predict nanocrystal shape led to the development, over several decades, of a large number of mathematical models and, later, their software implementations ...

Progressive shape models [PDF]
2012 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2012 Dans cet article nous nous concentrons sur un problème récurrent des systèmes d'acquisition 4D : l'apprentissage de la géométrie et de la topologie d'une scène déformable à partir d'une séquence temporelle de maillages. Il s'agit d'une étape fondamentale dans le traitement de scènes naturelles et dynamiques. Tandis que de nombreux travaux ont été menés

Disjunctive normal shape models [PDF]
2015 IEEE 12th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), 2015 A novel implicit parametric shape model is proposed for segmentation and analysis of medical images. Functions representing the shape of an object can be approximated as a union of N polytopes. Each polytope is obtained by the intersection of M half-spaces.
