A new methodology to establish the best global match of objects’ contours in images is presented and its results are compared to those obtained by the geometric modeling approach proposed by Shapiro and Brady who are well known in this domain.Abstract:
This paper presents a new methodology to establish the best global match of objects’ contours in images. The first step is the extraction of the sets of ordered points that define the objects’ contours. Then, by using the curvature value and its distance to the corresponded centroid for each point, an affinity matrix is built. This matrix contains information of the cost for all possible matches between the two sets of ordered points. Then, to determine the desired one-to-one global matching, an assignment algorithm based on dynamic programming is used. This algorithm establishes the global matching of the minimum global cost that preserves the circular order of the contours’ points. Additionally, a methodology to estimate the similarity transformation that best aligns the matched contours is also presented. This methodology uses the matching information which was previously obtained, in addition to a statistical process to estimate the parameters of the similarity transformation in question. In order to validate the proposed matching methodology, its results are compared to those obtained by the geometric modeling approach proposed by Shapiro and Brady who are well known in this domain.read more

Registration of pedobarographic image data in the frequency domain
TL;DR: Two new registration methods based on the Fourier transform, cross-correlation and phase correlation which offer high computational speed and accuracy are proposed and found that the current methods were robust to moderate levels of noise, and consequently, do not require noise removal procedure like the contours method does.

Hand shape recognition based on coherent distance shape contexts
TL;DR: This paper creates a new hand image database containing 4000 grayscale left hand images of 200 subjects, on which CDSC has achieved the accurate identification rate of 99.60% for identification and the Equal Error Rate of 0.9% for verification, which are comparable with the state-of-the-art hand shape recognition methods.

A Computational Approach to Edge Detection
TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.

Snakes : Active Contour Models
TL;DR: This work uses snakes for interactive interpretation, in which user-imposed constraint forces guide the snake near features of interest, and uses scale-space continuation to enlarge the capture region surrounding a feature.

Shape matching and object recognition using shape contexts
TL;DR: This paper presents work on computing shape models that are computationally fast and invariant basic transformations like translation, scaling and rotation, and proposes shape detection using a feature called shape context, which is descriptive of the shape of the object.
