With recent advances in 3D modeling and scanning technologies, large number of 3D models are created and stored in different databases. This has created an impetus to develop effective 3D shape analysis and 3D shape retrieval algorithms for these domains. This has made the field of 3D shape analysis and retrieval become an active area of research in the 3D community. In this paper we will survey f...Show More
In the paper, we propose a 3D shape descriptor which can be applied to areas such as non-rigid 3D shape analysis and retrieval. We start with the calculation of the Wave Kernel Signature (WKS) and the scale-invariant Heat Kernel Signature (siHKS) of surface points belong to a 3D shape. Then we combine them together and obtain their principle components by PCA (principle component analysis), which ...Show More
We investigate the problem of facial expression recognition using 3D face data. Our approach is based on local shape analysis of several relevant regions of a given face scan. These regions or patches from facial surfaces are extracted and represented by sets of closed curves. A Riemannian framework is used to derive the shape analysis of the extracted patches. The applied framework permits to cal...Show More
This paper describes methods for recovering time-varying shape and motion of non-rigid 3D objects from uncalibrated 2D point tracks. For example, given a video recording of a talking person, we would like to estimate the 3D shape of the face at each instant, and learn a model of facial deformation. Time-varying shape is modeled as a rigid transformation combined with a non-rigid deformation. Recon...Show More
Accurate recognition and knowledge of anatomical shapes are important in both medical diagnosis and treatment planning. Improving techniques for 3D shape analysis would help gain clinical knowledge, be useful for efficient treatment delivery, and minimise side effects. In this paper, a new approach was proposed for shape variation analysis using MeshCNN. The classification network of the MeshCNN f...Show More
Statistical shape models have been widely used in biomedical image analysis, e.g. segmentation, registration, and shape classification. The traditional statistical shape models forced all shape parameters of each shape into one vector and put all vectors together to generate the point distribution model (PDM). The standard principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to project all shapes onto ...Show More
Three-dimensional face pose and shape acquisition has become an important part of 3D face reconstruction, 3D face tracking, and other related applications. Many approaches have been presented to estimate the 3D face shape from 2D images. Some of them are parameterized model based approaches so it is somewhat convenient to handle model shape and pose via numerical parameters to align its vertices o...Show More
This paper proposes the use of high-dimensional, point-based shape models for the study of phenotype, which offer some important advantages over traditional morphometries, including a more detailed representation of shape and a more systematic approach to shape statistics. Our approach allows for the analysis of shape at both global and local scales and can automatically extract lower- dimensional...Show More
Since the medical training samples are very limited, it is difficult to construct a statistical shape model with good generalization using few samples. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical shape modeling method using 2D PCA. The 3D shape is represented as a matrix by spherical parameterization. The experiments showed that our proposed method can reconstruct statistical shape model with go...Show More

3D shape representations are essential when storing shape information for natural and manmade objects. To make use of shape information, many applications require shape-processing functionality, such as for search, annotation, classification, modeling, restoration, or collection exploration. This article discusses feature-based approaches and how they can support such functionality.Show More
This paper presents a new method for person-specific face shape estimation under varying head pose of a previously unseen person from a single image. We describe a featureless approach based on a deformable 3D model and a learned face subspace. The proposed approach is based on maximizing a likelihood measure associated with a learned face subspace, which is carried out by a stochastic and genetic...Show More
3D foot anthropometric data was collected and classified into several foot shapes. A 3D foot anthropometric database which contains 1835 male right foot scanning images was used. The subjects aged from 18 to 60 years old. A 3D foot scanner was used to collect 12 foot dimensions including foot length, ball of foot length, outside ball of foot length, foot breadth, heel breadth, ball circumference, ...Show More
Brain imaging studies of the corpus callosum (CC) in autism have yielded inconsistent results. In this paper, we explore the three-dimensional profile of CC abnormalities in autism. The CC is segmented from mid-sagittal MRI and four adjacent slices on both sides, using our newly developed semiautomatic method. A subsequent contour stitching is performed to create the 3D surface of the CC, and the ...Show More
This paper analyzes the robustness of recent 3D shape descriptors to SO(3) rotations, something that is fundamental to shape modeling. Specifically, we formulate the task of rotated 3D object instance detection. To do so, we consider a database of 3D indoor scenes, where objects occur in different orientations. We benchmark different methods for feature extraction and classification in the context...Show More
Three-dimensional (3D) shape reconstruction is particularly important for computer assisted medical systems, especially in the case of lung surgeries, where large deaeration deformation occurs. Recently, 3D reconstruction methods based on machine learning techniques have achieved considerable success in computer vision. However, it is difficult to apply these approaches to the medical field, becau...Show More
Recently, analysis of facial morphology and its relationship to genes has received considerable attention. In this paper, we present a scheme of 3D shape alignment for the morphological study of human face. We employ the Cylindrical Polar transform to sample the original 3D shape data which was obtained using the 3D laser scanner. By mapping the sampled data to a 2D image, we can obtain the shape ...Show More
The diagnosis of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) and identifying cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidates are challenging problems due to the limitation of the currently applied regional volume-curve analysis. In this study, four-dimensional (4D, 3D+time) left ventricle (LV) regional shape models of 26 LVMD patients were constructed from pre- and/or post- CRT real-time 3D...Show More
Nuclear shape and its heterogeneity are diagnostically important criteria used by pathologists in cancer diagnosis. Pathology assessment is currently qualitative and is based on 2D brightfield microscopy images. We propose an imaging informatics framework to quantify nuclear pleomorphism by statistical characterization of 3D nuclear shape. We applied optical projection tomographic microscopy (OPTM...Show More
A 3D partitioned active shape model (PASM) is proposed in this paper to address the problems of 3D active shape models (ASM) brought by small training sets, which is usually the case in 3D applications. When numbers of training samples are limited, 3D ASMs tend to be restrictive, because the plausible area/allowable region spanned by relatively few eigenvectors cannot capture the full range of sha...Show More
Three-dimensional shape matching is a fundamental issue in computer vision with many applications such as shape registration, 3D object recognition, and classification. However, shape matching with noise, occlusion, and clutter is a challenging problem. In this paper, we analyze a family of quasi-conformal maps including harmonic maps, conformal maps, and least-squares conformal maps with regards ...Show More

In this paper we consider the problem of recovering the 3D motion and shape of an arbitrarily-moving, arbitrarily-shaped curve from multiple synchronized video streams acquired from distinct and known points in space. By studying the 3D motion and shape constraints provided by the input video streams, we show that (1) shape and motion recovery is equivalent to the problem of recovering the differe...Show More
Two dimensional shape models have been successfully applied to solve many problems in computer vision such as object tracking, recognition and segmentation. Typically, 2D shape models (e.g. Point Distribution Models, Active Shape Models) are learned from a discrete set of image landmarks once the rigid transformations are removed applying Procrustes Analysis (PA). However, the standard PA process ...Show More
The emergence of digital pathology has enabled numerous quantitative analyses of histopathology structures. However, most pathology image analyses are limited to two-dimensional datasets, resulting in substantial information loss and incomplete interpretation. To address this, we have developed a complete framework for three-dimensional whole slide image analysis and demonstrated its efficacy on 3...Show More
