Description: Shapes are complex objects to apprehend, as mathematical entities, in terms that also are suitable for computerised analysis and interpretation. This volume provides the background that is required for this purpose, including different approaches that can be used to model shapes, and algorithms that are available to analyze them.
Notes: "A direct application of what is presented in the book is a branch of the computerized analysis of medical images called computational anatomy"--Back cover.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [419]-429) and index.
