Abstract

A new method for combining shape descriptors based on a behavior study from a learning set is proposed in this paper. Each descriptor is applied on several clusters of objects or symbols. For each cluster and for any descriptor a pertinent map is directly carried out from the learning database. Then existing conflicts are assessed and integrated in such a map. At last, we show that the use of combination of descriptors enables to improve the recognition using real data.
