As someone who did their Ph.D thesis on the statistics of shape using models based on the medial axis (i.e., a skeleton), I would beg to differ.
Whether these models are as easy to apply (computationally and conceptually) as the currently in-vogue techniques is another question, but there is nothing magical here that computers are incapable of.
- zeusk 7y agoHah, I was going to point this out. We already use MAT (Medial Axis Transform) - quite heavily in 3D printing and object/space recognition.
- rpmisms 7y agoSure, just the skeleton part. How about density, deformation, and reflectiveness? All at once? We can simulate these, so we can obviously detect them, but not yet.
