ENHANCED HIERARCHICAL SHAPE MATCHING FOR SHAPE TRANSFORMATION
International Journal of Shape Modeling, 2003Summary: The quality of 3D object transformation very often relies on the quality of the matching between the two objects. Geometric considerations regarding scale, rotation and translation, and user defined constraints are used to control the matching.

Shape features in distance transforms
SPIE Proceedings, 1993Shape features characterizing patterns represented by their distance transform are illustrated. The role they can play in pattern decomposition is described with reference to a process based on the detection of a number of pixels significant for shape interpretation.

Dynamic of the Earth shape transformation
Kinematika i fizika nebesnyh tel (Online), 2017Planetary dynamics of century-long Earth shape changes is studied based on the approximation of the physical Earth surface by a biaxial ellipsoid. Trends in century-long changes of Earthshape parameters were revealed from the analysis of the following data: modern GNSS measurements on permanent stations in the Northern and Southern hemispheres and ...

Shape transformation in space-time
The Visual Computer, 1996We present a method for transforming shapes in a plane. The primary strength of the proposed method is that it can handle scenes containing moving obstacles. We attain a smooth transformation between two given polygonal shapes and ensure that the shape does not collide with any obstacle during the transformation.

Abstract We are lucky to be able to discuss to-day so simple a concept as that of ‘growth’. Growth means change of size, and the size of an organism is something definite, unambiguous and measurable. It has been more than once suggested that ‘growth’ is an all but impenetrably obscure concept because it relates to a very heterogeneous

On the shape transformation of cone scales
Soft Matter, 2016The shape-morphing behaviours of some biological systems have drawn considerable interest over many years. This paper divulges that the opening and closing mechanism of pine cones is attributed to the self-bending of their scales, which undergo three states of humidity-driven deformation in terms of Föppl-von Kármán plate theory.

Shape transformation for polyhedral objects
Proceedings of the 19th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques, 1992Techniques that transform one two-dimensionaf image into another have gained widespread use m recent yeara. Extending these techniques to transform pairs of 3D objects, as opposed to 2D images of the objects, providea several advsntagea, including the ability to snimate the objects independently of the transformation.

Transformation: A Key to Shaping Nursing
Image: the Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 1984AbstractThis article focuses on a time that expands the present and embraces the year 2000. The transformational world view is presented as a system of values and beliefs ever‐changing and leading in different directions. Several directions are discussed in relation to the shaping of nursing.
