Binary shape recognition using the morphological skeleton transform
نویسنده
چکیده
-Binary image representation by its morphological skeleton transform has been proposed in the past as an information preserving representation. In this paper this skeleton representation is adopted as the start point for the development of a binary shape recognition scheme. A skeleton matching algorithm is presented that efficiently characterizes the similarity between two skeletons as a distance measure. This skeleton matching algorithm resembles the well known from speech processing elastic matching technique.

Pattern Spectrum and Multiscale Shape Representation
This paper reports the results of a study of multiscale shape description, smoothing and representation. Multiscale nonlinear smoothing filters are first developed by using morphological openings and closings. These filters smooth signals while preserving their edges, and use a definition of scale that agrees with the spatial size of image objects. Matheron used openings and closings to obtain ...
متن کاملMorphological skeleton representation and coding of binary images
This paper presents the results of a study on the use of morphological set operations to represent and encode a discrete binary image by parts of its skeleton, a thinned version of the image containing complete information about its shape and size. Using morphological erosions and openings, a finite image can be uniquely decomposed into a finite number of skeleton subsets and then the image can...
متن کاملA generalized morphological skeleton transform and extraction of structural shape components
In this paper, we introduce a generalized morphological skeleton transform that uses eight structuring elements to generate skeleton subsets. The number of representative points needed to represent a given shape is significantly lower than in the standard skeleton transform. A collection of shape components needed to build a structural representation is easily selected from the shape elements g...
متن کاملMorphological hand-printed character recognition by a skeleton-matching algorithm
We study the use of mathematical morphology for handprinted character recognition. Our approach uses the morphological skeleton transform as the shape descriptor. An efficient skeletonmatching algorithm, which renders the similarity between two skeletons as a distance measure, is employed. Based on this distance measure, a character is classified by a minimum distance classifier. The morphologi...
متن کاملFace Recognition from Profiles Using Morphological Signature Transform
A new method for face recognition using profile gray-level images based on the morphological signature transform (MST) is presented in this paper. Gray-level image of profile is thresholded to produce a binary, black and white image. The method is based on the successive morphological erosions of the input profile at different resolutions by primary and rotated structuring elements. The areas o...
