| Abstract English | Automatic construction of shape models from examples has recently been the focus of intense research. These methods have proved to be useful for shape segmentation, tracking, recognition and shape understanding. In this paper we discuss automatic landmark selection and correspondence determination from a discrete set of landmarks, typically obtained by feature extraction. The set of landmarks may include both outliers and missing data. Our framework has a solid theoretical basis using principles of minimal description length (MDL). In order to exploit these ideas, new non-heuristic methods for (i) principal component analysis and (ii) procrustes mean are derived - as a consequence of the modelling principle. The resulting MDL criterion is optimised over both discrete and continuous decision variables. The algorithms have been implemented and tested on the problem of automatic shape extraction from feature points in image sequences. |
