A Supervised Shape Classification Technique Invariant under Rotation and Scaling

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new object classification technique based on polygonal approximation of the open profile of object. The vertices of polygonal approximation are formed by high curvature points of the profile and they are selected by Fourier transform of the object contour. A series of features are computed from the polygonal approximation and then the minimum distance classifier is used to recognize the object. The proposed technique is fast, simple and invariant under translation, rotation and scaling. Experimental results in recognition of static hand gestures show the performance of the proposed technique.

Is Pinocchio's Nose Long or His Head Small? Learning Shape Distances for Classification
This work presents a new approach to analysis of shapes represented by finite set of landmarks, that generalizes the notion of Procrustes distance an invariant metric under translation, scaling, and rotation. In many shape classification tasks there is a large variability in certain landmarks due to intra-class and/or inter-class variations. Such variations cause poor shape alignment needed for...
متن کاملComparing Model-based Versus K-means Clustering for the Planar Shapes
In some fields, there is an interest in distinguishing different geometrical objects from each other. A field of research that studies the objects from a statistical point of view, provided they are invariant under translation, rotation and scaling effects, is known as the statistical shape analysis. Having some objects that are registered using key points on the outline...
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 کاملImage normalization for pattern recognition
In general, there are four basic forms of distortion in the recognition of planar patterns: translation, rotation, scaling and skew. In this paper, a normalization algorithm has been developed which transforms pattern into its normal form such that it is invariant to translation, rotation, scaling and skew. After normalization, the recognition can be performed by a simple matching method. In th...
متن کاملShape Characterization via Boundary Distortion
In this paper, we derive new shape descriptors based on a directional characterization. The main idea is to study the behavior of the shape neighborhood under family of transformations. We obtain a description invariant with respect to rotation, reflection, translation and scaling. A well-defined metric is then proposed on the associated feature space. We show the continuity of this metric. Som...
