On the Representation of Shapes Using Implicit Functions

In this chapter, we explore shape representation, registration, and modeling through implicit functions. To this end, we propose novel techniques for global and local registration of shapes through the alignment of the corresponding distance transforms by defining objective functions that minimize metrics between the implicit representations of shapes.
