Continuous Generalized Procrustes analysis

چکیده
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 are learned from a discrete set of image landmarks (corresponding to projection of 3D points of an object), after applying Generalized Procustes Analysis (GPA) to remove 2D rigid transformations. However, the standard GPA process suffers from three main limitations. Firstly, the 2D training samples do not necessarily cover a uniform sampling of all the 3D transformations of an object. This can bias the estimate of the shape model. Secondly, it can be computationally expensive to learn the shape model by sampling 3D transformations. Thirdly, standard GPA methods use only one reference shape, which can might be insufficient to capture large structural variability of some objects. To address these drawbacks, this paper proposes continuous generalized Procrustes analysis (CGPA). CGPA uses a continuous formulation that avoids the need to generate 2D projections from all the rigid 3D transformations. It builds an efficient (in space and time) non-biased 2D shape model from a set of 3D model of objects. A major challenge in CGPA is the need to integrate over the space of 3D rotations, especially when the rotations are parameterized with Euler angles. To address this problem, we introduce the use of the Haar measure. Finally, we extended CGPA to incorporate several reference shapes. Experimental results on synthetic and real experiments show the benefits of CGPA over GPA. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A simple alternative to Generalized Procrustes Analysis: Application to sensory profiling data
A statistical method for analysing sensory profiling data obtained by means of fixed vocabulary or free choice profiling is discussed. The most interesting feature of this method is that it involves only simple statistical treatment and can therefore be performed using standard software packages. The outcomes of this method are compared to those of Generalized Procrustes Analysis on the basis o...
متن کاملBARTOLI, PIZARRO, LOOG: STRATIFIED GENERALIZED PROCRUSTES ANALYSIS 1 Stratified Generalized Procrustes Analysis1
This paper deals with generalized procrustes analysis. This is the problem of registering a set of shape data by finding a reference shape and global rigid transformations given point correspondences. The transformed shape data must align with the reference shape as best possible. This is a difficult problem. The classical approach computes alternatively the reference shape, usually as the aver...
متن کاملThe Continuous Procrustes Distance between Two Surfaces
The Procrustes distance is used to quantify the similarity or dissimilarity of (3-dimensional) shapes, and extensively used in biological morphometrics. Typically each (normalized) shape is represented by N landmark points, chosen to be homologous (i.e. corresponding to each other), as much as possible, and the Procrustes distance is then computed as infR ∑N j=1 ‖Rxj − xj‖, where the minimizati...
متن کاملIdentifying assessor differences in weighting the underlying sensory dimensions
In a previous paper Kunert and Qannari (1999) discussed a simple alternative to Generalized Procrustes Analysis to analyze data derived from a sensory profiling study. After simple pre-treatments of the individual data matrices, they propose to merge the data sets together and undergo Principal Components Analysis of the matrix thus formed. On the basis of two data sets, it was shown that the r...
