ResearchObject shape

What are the categorical parts of an object? How might they deform?

Curve evolution and its application to shape are in:

Curve evolution can also be applied to image segmentation:

and surprisingly has connections to mathematical physics:

...provides a basis for object matching:

...and is related to perception:
