Efficient Retrieval of Deformed and Occluded Shapes

چکیده
We propose an approach for matching deformed and occluded shapes using Dynamic Programming (DP). Our algorithms handle noise and shape distortions by allowing matching of merged sequences of consecutive small segments in a shape, with larger segments of another shape, while being invariant to translation, scale and orientation transformations of shapes. We illustrate the effectiveness of our algorithms in retrieval of shapes on two different twodimensional datasets, one of static hand gesture shapes and another of marine life shapes.

متن کاملShape Matching with Occlusion in Image Databases
Abstract. We propose an approach for matching deformed, occluded and unoccluded shapes using Dynamic Programming (DP). We distinguish among various cases of matching including cases where the shapes are scaled with respect to each other or cases where one shape matches the whole or only a part of the other shape. Our approach handles noise and shape distortions by allowing matching of merged se...
متن کاملRotation Invariant Non-rigid Shape Matching in Cluttered Scenes
This paper presents a novel and efficient method for locating deformable shapes in cluttered scenes. The shapes to be detected may undergo arbitrary translational and rotational changes, and they can be non-rigidly deformed, occluded and corrupted by clutters. All these problems make the accurate and robust shape matching very difficult. By using a new shape representation, which involves a pow...
متن کاملRecognition of Partially Occluded Elliptical Objects using Symmetry on Contour
There are many research efforts in object recognition. Most existing methods for object recognition are based on full objects. However, many images contain multiple objects with occluded shapes and regions. Due to the occlusion of objects, image retrieval can provide incomplete, uncertain, and inaccurate results. To resolve this problem, we propose a new method to reconstruct objects using symm...
متن کاملRetrieving Images by 2D Shape: A Comparison of Computation Methods with Human Perceptual Judgments
In content based image retrieval, systems allow users to ask for objects similar in shape to a query object. However, there is no clear understanding of how computational shape similarity corresponds to human shape similarity. In this paper several shape similarity measures were evaluated on planar, connected, non-occluded binary shapes. Shape similarity using algebraic moments, spline curve di...
