Abstract

A similarity measure for silhouettes of 2D objects is presented, and its properties are analyzed with respect to retrieval of similar objects in image databases. To reduce influence of digitization noise as well as segmentation errors the shapes are simplified by a new process of digital curve evolution. To compute our similarity measure, we first establish the best possible correspondence of visual parts (without explicitly computing the visual parts). Then the similarity between corresponding parts is computed and summed. Experimental results show that our shape matching procedure gives an intuitive shape correspondence and is stable with respect to noise distortions.
