	abstract = {We propose a unified framework based on a general definition of geometric transform (GeT) for modeling appearance. GeT represents the appearance by applying designed functionals over certain geometric sets. We show that image warping, Radon transform, trace transform, etc. are special cases of our definition. Moreover, three different types of GeTs are designed to handle deformation, articulation and occlusion and applied to fingerprinting the appearance inside a contour. They include the contour-driven GeT, the feature curve based GeT and selecting functionals to model the appearance inside the convex hull of the contour. A multi-resolution representation that combines both shape and appearance information is also proposed. We apply our approach to image synthesis and object recognition. The proposed approach produces promising results when applied to fingerprinting the appearance of human and body parts despite the challenges due to articulated motion and deformations},

	abstract = {This paper presents a new data hiding method for curves. The proposed algorithm parameterizes a curve using the B-spline model and adds a spread spectrum sequence to the coordinates of the B-spline control points. In order to achieve robust fingerprint detection, an iterative alignment-minimization algorithm is proposed to perform curve registration and to deal with the nonuniqueness of B-spline control points. Through experiments, we demonstrate the robustness of the proposed data-hiding algorithm against various attacks, such as collusion, cropping, geometric transformations, vector/raster-raster/vector conversions, printing-and-scanning, and some of their combinations. We also show the feasibility of our method for fingerprinting topographic maps as well as writings and drawings.},
