Keyword: Digital Shape • Multi-dimensional media characterized by a visual appearance in a space of 2, 3, or more dimensions. • Examples: pictures, images, 3D models, videos (disregarding the sound track), animations, etc. “Dissemination & Awareness Strategy” Meeting, Feb 15-16, 2006, Luxembourg
what is shape? • AIM@SHAPE is aimed at coordinating research on representing, modelling and processing knowledge related to digital shapes. • Shapes have a geometry (the spatial extent of the object), • they can be described by structures(object features and part-whole decomposition), • they have attributes (colours, textures, names, attached to an object, its parts and/or its features), • they have a semantics (meaning, purpose), • they may also have interaction with time (e.g., history, shape morphing, animation, video). Shape = any individual object having a visual appearance which exists in some (two-, three- or higher- dimensional) space (pictures, sketches, images, 3D objects, videos, 4D animations, ...) “Dissemination & Awareness Strategy” Meeting, Feb 15-16, 2006, Luxembourg
