This paper focuses on matching 1D structures by variational methods. We provide rigorous rules for the construction of the cost function, on the basis of an analysis of properties ...
The purpose of this study is to develop a flexible matching method for recognizing handwritten numerals based on the statistics of shapes and structures learned from learning sam...
—This paper presents a novel hybrid method for content based visual information retrieval (CBIR) that combines shape analysis of objects in image with their automatic indexing by...
