Proposed Dissimilarity Measure • We chose the SDF as our shape descriptor because: • Convergence condition of gradient descent methods is satisfied(Huang et al PAMI’06). • Invariance to rotations and translations. • Ability to handle topological changes. • Its relative simplicity. To deal with the dimension added by the SDF definition • Proposed SSD Measure where: or
Convexity of the proposed SSD measure • Empirical Evaluation (2D case): • Pick a shape: • Fix 3 parameters and vary the remaining 2. • The ranges of the 2 unknown parameters are uniformly quantized using 100 samples: • Convexity in full dimensionality is not guaranteed
Euler Lagrange Equations • For each parameter where: • Implementation consideration: different time steps may need to be used for different parameters
