Abstract
A method of analysing a sequence of images of a deformable object in non-rigid motion involves modeling the boundary using a non-rigid contour. A representation of movement of the contour through the sequence of images is calculated using a tracking space shape. The calculated movement representation is decomposed using an interpretational space shape that is different than the tracking space shape.
