Shape is a ubiquitous property of our world. Inferences about it require ‘shape models’: probability distributions on shapes. The crucial property of any such shape model is the existence of long-range dependencies between boundary points. We look at how this property has typically been implemented in machine vision, and at the drawbacks of this ‘classical’ approach. We then discuss an alternative, inspired by classes of shapes arising in certain image processing problems. The resulting description of shape does not involve exogenous templates, but instead describes shape as an emergent property of interactions in a network of simple nodes.
