Shape Characterization via Boundary Distortion (1302.5957v1)
Published 24 Feb 2013 in cs.CV
Abstract: In this paper, we derive new shape descriptors based on a directional characterization. The main idea is to study the behavior of the shape neighborhood under family of transformations. We obtain a description invariant with respect to rotation, reflection, translation and scaling. A well-defined metric is then proposed on the associated feature space. We show the continuity of this metric. Some results on shape retrieval are provided on two databases to show the accuracy of the proposed shape metric.
