ABSTRACT
We address the problem of retrieving an object description, in the form of a silhouette, from a database of shapes, in a way that is robust with respect to translation, rotation, scale change, and distortion. Algorithms to solve this problem can be a key step in passive assistant software that receives information from available sensors and databases, and provides useful information about the local environment to a visually disabled user (where the assistant input may be in the form of audio). Experiments show significant gains in retrieval accuracy over previous work.

Invariant multiscale triangle feature for shape recognition
AbstractShape is an important visual characteristic in representing an object, and it is also an important part of human visual information. Shape recognition is an important research direction in pattern recognition and image understanding. ...
Shape recognition by bag of skeleton-associated contour parts
We associate a contour point with an object thickness value.We propose a new descriptor to combine both contour and skeleton information.Our method achieves the state-of-the-arts results on several shape dataset. Contour and skeleton are two ...
Shape ellipticity from Hu moment invariants
In this paper we derive an explicit formula which uses the first two Hu moment invariants to compute a shape ellipticity measure, i.e. to evaluate how much a planar shape differs from an ellipse. The ellipticity measure computed by this formula is ...
