Abstract

We present a novel representation of shape for closedplanar contours explicitly designed to possess a linearstructure. This greatly simplifies linear operations suchas averaging, principal component analysis or differentiation in the space of shapes. The representation reliesupon embedding the contour on a subset of the space ofharmonic functions of which the original contour is thezero level set.
