• openAccess   Archetypal contour shapes 

      Alcacer Sales, Aleix; Epifanio, Irene; Ibáñez Gual, Maria Victoria; Simó, Amelia Università di Cassino e del Lazio Meridionale. Centro Editoriale di Ateneo (2019)
      Shapes are represented by contour functions from planar object outlines. Functional archetypal analysis is proposed to describe closed contour shapes. Each contour function is approximated by a convex combination of ...
    • openAccess   Curvature approximation from parabolic sectors 

      Gual-Arnau, Ximo; Ibáñez Gual, Maria Victoria; Monterde, Juan International Society for Stereology (2017)
      We propose an invariant three-point curvature approximation for plane curves based on the arc of a parabolic sector, and we analyze how closely this approximation is to the true curvature of the curve. We compare our results ...
    • openAccess   Detecting and visualizing differences in brain structures with SPHARM and functional data analysis 

      Ferrando, Lara; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Epifanio, Irene Elsevier (2020-08-07)
      A new procedure for classifying brain structures described by SPHARM is presented. We combine a dimension reduction technique (functional principal component analysis or functional independent component analysis) with ...
