Spectral histogram
Given a bank of filters F(a), a = 1, , K, a spectral
histogram is defined as the marginal distribution of filter
responses
Choice of filters

Standard Linear Representations
F(U)
depends on the span of U but is invariant to
change of basis
In other words, F(U)=F(UO) for any orthonormal matrix
O
The search space of F(U) is the set of all the subspaces,
which is known as the Grassmann manifold
It is not a flat vector space and gradient flow must take the
underlying geometry of the manifold into account; see [3] [4] [5]

A Parametric Family:
Applications:
-- clustering of objects according to shapes (learning)
-- shape based recognition of objects (recognition)
-- predicting shapes of partially-obscured objects (completion)
GEODESIC PATHS ON SHAPES
Basic Idea: Given two shapes (far left and far right), we
connect them using a geodesic path on the
shape manifold.
