Matching image objects in dynamic pedobarography

The paper presents an approach for matching image objects in dynamic pedobarography image sequences, based on finite element modelling of the objects and on modal analysis of the of the object models. The proposed approach allows the determination of correspondences between two distinct images, using either 2D or 3D modelling. The displacement vectors for the nodes of the matched object models are also determined, based on which the deformation energy is computed. The deformation energy can be used as a global measure of the similarity of the matched objects.
