Abstract :
A computationally valid shape model has been sought so that we can share shapes among varied applications for extensive reuse. Current shape models are targeted at presentations and lack validity in their shape properties, such as topological, geometrical and visual equivalence. Based on cellular structured space modeling (cellular modeling for short), valid shape modeling is formulated and examples are shown to demonstrate its effectiveness
