Summary
Unveiling Shape: A Mathematical Journey Through Shape Theory
The statistical theory of shape is a burgeoning field attracting considerable interest from statisticians, engineers, and computer scientists. In mathematical terms, ‘shape’ encapsulates the geometrical information needed to define an object, independent of its location, size, and orientation. Pioneered by Professor David Kendall, shape theory provides solutions to real-world problems concerning shape.
