- Abstract:
-
This work reports about the assessment of two shape descriptors,
namely the fractal dimension and the normalized multiscale bending
energy, for applications in biological shape analysis. Both
descriptors are briefly reviewed and some preliminary results of their
application to the morphometric characterization of neural cells are
presented. The methodology for the evaluation of the shape measures,
which is currently being carried out, is explained.
