Abstract
A novel method for detecting rotational symmetry is addressed in this paper by introducing a new concept of semi-shapes to overcome the main problem of projection-based approaches for studying rotational symmetric properties of an arbitrary shape. It is due to the fact that in the classical approaches, projection cues are periodical with a period of π preventing exploitation of rotational properties. We then propose the profile of semi-shapes as a signature of the shape together with a simple yet efficient technique to determine the rotation symmetry of an arbitrary shape by considering the correlation of this signature and its circular shift. A new measure is also introduced to determine how good the rotational symmetry would be. Experiments on single/compound-contour shapes have clearly corroborated the efficacy of our proposal.
