This paper presents a new framework for shape modeling and analysis. A shape instance is described by a curvature-based shape descriptor. A Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) is then built on such descriptors to represent a class of simi-lar shapes. PHMMs are a particular type of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) with special states and architecture that can tolerate considerable shape contour perturbations, including rigid and non-rigid deformations, occlusions, andmissing parts. The sparseness of the PHMM structure also provides effi-cient inference and learning algorithms for shape modeling and analysis. Our experimental results on corpus callosum images show the effectiveness and robustness of this new frame-work. Index Terms — Image shape an...
