Definition

Shape deformation models have occupied a prominent place in computer graphics and image processing. They possess superior geometric properties of flexible nature which make them an ideal candidate for several applications in graphics and imaging industry. In this article, some basic properties of shape deformation models are presented. These properties are highlighted though examples. An industry application with respect to topology driven structures through deformation with 3D shape correspondence of varying nature further highlights the strength of these models.

Introduction

The deformation of shapes corresponds as a basic problem in geometric modeling (González Hidalgo et al. 2013). Several methods have been developed to address rigid alignments, isometric shape articulations, part stretching nonrigid shape deformations, etc. Considering the...
