We present a method for object class detection in images based on global shape. A distance measure for elastic shape matching is derived, which is invariant to scale and rotation,...
We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
Points P1, . . . , Pn in the unit square define a convex n-chain if they are below y = x and, together with P0 = (0, 0) and Pn+1 = (1, 1), they are in convex position. Under unifo...
This paper proposes a novel graph matching algorithm based on skeletons and applies it to shape recognition based on object silhouettes. The main idea is to match the critical poin...
—This paper presents a novel probabilistic approach to hierarchical, exemplar-based shape matching. No feature correspondence is needed among exemplars, just a suitable pairwise ...
