SADM 2012 - Shape Analysis and Deformable Modeling - SADM 2012

Deformable modeling is a powerful tool in extracting object shape, structure, and motion patterns. It is particularly suitable for non-rigid objects and has been widely used to measure and model, for instance, biological shape and shape evolution in medical data where shape extraction and analysis have shown enormous promise in understanding biological function and disease progression. Its application has a wide reach in all areas of computer vision.

This special session is devoted to the discussion of recent advances in shape analysis and deformable modeling, in particular, for non rigid objects. Contributions presenting recent work on shape representation, extraction, learning, classification and dynamic modeling are particularly welcome.
