Shape Analysis (digital Geometry)
This article describes shape analysis to analyze and process geometric shapes. The shape analysis described here is related to the statistical analysis of geometric shapes, to shape matching and shape recognition. It applies purely to the geometry of an object, not to the structural analysis that deals with predicted behaviour of mechanical parts.

Famous quotes containing the words shape and/or analysis:
“We shape our buildings: thereafter they shape us.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
“Analysis as an instrument of enlightenment and civilization is good, in so far as it shatters absurd convictions, acts as a solvent upon natural prejudices, and undermines authority; good, in other words, in that it sets free, refines, humanizes, makes slaves ripe for freedom. But it is bad, very bad, in so far as it stands in the way of action, cannot shape the vital forces, maims life at its roots. Analysis can be a very unappetizing affair, as much so as death.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
