Because the properties of objects are largely determined by their geometric
features, shape analysis and classification are essential to almost every
applied scientific and technological area. A detailed understanding of the
geometrical features of real-world entities (e.g., molecules, organs, materials
and components) can provide important clues about their origin and function.
When properly and carefully applied, shape analysis offers an exceedingly rich
potential to yield useful applications in diverse areas ranging from material
sciences to biology and neuroscience.
