Advances in shape analysis impact a wide range of disciplines, from
mathematics and engineering to medicine, archeology, and art. "Shape
Analysis and Classification: Theory and Practice" offers an integrated
and conceptual introduction to this field and its myriad applications.
Beginning with a comprehensive review of the basic mathematical
concepts, it deals with shape analysis, from image capture to pattern
classification, and presents many important techniques, including topics
such as multiscale shape characterization and feature extraction using
wavelets and multiscale skeletons.
