Hierarchical Shape Segmentation and Registration via Topological Features of Laplace-Beltrami Eigenfunctions

This work introduces a method to hierarchically segment articulated shapes into meaningful parts and to register these parts across populations of near-isometric shapes (e.g. head, arms, legs and fingers of humans in different body postures). The method exploits the isometry invariance of eigenfunct...
