Fourier descriptors for broken shapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fourier descriptors are powerful features for the recognition of two-dimensional connected shapes. In this article, we propose a method to define Fourier descriptors even for broken shapes, i.e. shapes that can have more than one contour. The method is based on the convex hull of the shape and the distance to the closest actual contour point along the convex hull. We define different invariant Fourier descriptors for this three-dimensional representation of a two-dimensional shape and compare them on different data sets. The recognition rates are comparable to normal Fourier descriptors while the new scheme at the same time offers the option to also deal with broken contours. We also discuss and evaluate different normalisation schemes that make the descriptors invariant under scale and rotation.

A new shape retrieval method using the Group delay of the Fourier descriptors
In this paper, we introduced a new way to analyze the shape using a new Fourier based descriptor, which is the smoothed derivative of the phase of the Fourier descriptors. It is extracted from the complex boundary of the shape, and is called the smoothed group delay (SGD). The usage of SGD on the Fourier phase descriptors, allows a compact representation of the shape boundaries which is robust ...
متن کاملRecognizing shipbuilding parts using artificial neural networks and Fourier descriptors
A pattern recognition system is described for recognizing shipbuilding parts using artificial neural networks and Fourier descriptors. The system uses shape contour information that is invariant of size, translation, and rotation. Fourier descriptors provide information, and the neural networks make decisions about the shapes. A brief review of the current state of the art is included, and resu...
متن کاملFourier descriptors under rotation, scaling, translation and various distortion for hand drawn planar curves
The ordinary Fourier coefficients are difficult to use as input to categorizers because they contain factors dependent upon size and rotation as well as an arbitrary phase angle. From these Fourier coefficients, however, other more useful features are derived. By using these derived property constants, a distinction is made between genuine shape constants and constants representing size, locati...
متن کاملMultiscale Fourier descriptors for defect image retrieval
Shape is an essential visual feature of an image and it is widely used to describe image content in image classification and retrieval. In this paper, two new Fourier-based approaches for contour-based shape description are presented. These approaches present Fourier descriptors in multiple scales, which improves the shape classification and retrieval accuracy. The proposed methods outperform o...
متن کاملOn the Alignment of Shapes Represented by Fourier Descriptors
The representation of shapes by Fourier descriptors is a time-honored technique that has received relatively little attention lately. Nevertheless, it has its benefits and is suitable for describing a range of medical structures in two dimensions. Delineations in medical applications often consist of continuous outlines of structures, where no information of correspondence between samples exist...
