New Functional Data Analysis Framework for Shape Analysis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework for analyzing shapes using Functional Data Analysis (FDA). This method uses basis expansion techniques to estimate deformation variables like scaling, translation, and rotation, allowing for curve alignment. A generative model for random contours is then created using principal component analysis. Experiments on simulated data and the MPEG-7 database show the framework's success in identifying deformation parameters and capturing contour distributions where traditional FDA methods fall short.

    A Functional Approach to Curve Alignment and Shape Analysis

    arXiv:2503.05632v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In many image analysis problems, the contours of objects carry important statistical information about shape. Such contours are typically affected by deformation variables including scaling, translation, rotation, and repa…
