Abstract
We describe a novel application of deformable templates to automatic shape classification of manufactured (man-made) diamonds. We introduce a new shape parameter, τ, to characterize diamond morphology and describe an approach to compute it from images. Our approach has been implemented in an image analysis system which is currently being used on a regular basis to classify diamonds at a manufacturing facility. An experimental evaluation of the system is given.
