Mesh Generation and Flexible Shape Comparisons for Bio-Molecules

Zhanheng Gao, Reihaneh Rostami, Xiaoli Pang, Zhicheng Fu, Zeyun Yu (2016)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Similarity:

Novel approaches for generating and comparing flexible (non-rigid) molecular surface meshes are developed. The mesh-generating method is fast and memory-efficient. The resulting meshes are smooth and accurate, and possess high mesh quality. An isometric-invariant shape descriptor based on the Laplace- Beltrami operator is then explored for mesh comparing. The new shape descriptor is more powerful in discriminating different surface shapes but rely only on a small set of signature values....

Shape Correspondence Analysis for Biomolecules Based on Volumetric Eigenfunctions

Tao Liao, Hao-Chih Lee, Ge Yang, Yongjie Jessica Zhang (2015)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Similarity:

The functionality of biomolecules depends on their flexible structures, which can be characterized by their surface shapes. Tracking the deformation and comparing biomolecular shapes are essential in understanding their mechanisms. In this paper, a new spectral shape correspondence analysis method is introduced for biomolecules based on volumetric eigenfunctions. The eigenfunctions are computed from the joint graph of two given shapes, avoiding the sign flipping and confusion in the...

Triangular mesh analysis with application on hip bone

Pajerová, Nikola, Linkeová, Ivana

Similarity:

Shape analyses and similarity measuring is a very often solved problem in computer graphics. The shape distribution approach based on shape functions is frequently used for this determination. The experience from a comparison of ball-bar standard triangular meshes was used to match hip bones triangular meshes. The aim is to find relation between similarity measures obtained by shape distributions approach.

Function spaces and shape theories

Jerzy Dydak, Sławomir Nowak (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to provide a geometric explanation of strong shape theory and to give a fairly simple way of introducing the strong shape category formally. Generally speaking, it is useful to introduce a shape theory as a localization at some class of “equivalences”. We follow this principle and we extend the standard shape category Sh(HoTop) to Sh(pro-HoTop) by localizing pro-HoTop at shape equivalences. Similarly, we extend the strong shape category of Edwards-Hastings...
