2D Shape Decomposition Based on Combined Skeleton-Boundary Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Decomposing a shape into meaningful components plays a strong role in shape-related applications. In this paper, we combine properties of skeleton and boundary to implement a general shape decomposition approach. It is motivated by recent studies in visual human perception discussing the importance of certain shape boundary features as well as features of the shape area; it utilizes certain properties of the shape skeleton combined with boundary features to determine protrusion strength. Experiments yield results similar to those from human subjects on abstract shape data. Also, experiments of different data sets prove the robustness of the combined skeleton-boundary approach.

Skeleton Based Hook Echo Detection in Radar Reflectivity Data
Automatic detection of severe weather events is of great interest to meteorologists. In this paper, we describe and evaluate a method to identify hook echoes automatically in radar reflectivity data. The method is based on the skeletonization of 2D shapes which are used to describe the shape of storms. We use 4 skeleton shape features: curvature, curve orientation, thickness variation and bound...
متن کاملShape Classification with Statistical Classifiers using Morphological Shape Representation Features
This paper compares the performance of four statistical classifiers, namely linear discriminant classifier, quadratic discriminant classifier, k-Nearest Neighborhood classifier, and parzen classifier are considered for recognition of 2D-shapes. The two features from morphological skeletons and four features from morphological shape decomposition are identified from 2D-shapes. These features are...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach to Perceptual 3D Object-Part Decomposition Using Skeleton-Based Representations
We present a probabilistic approach to shape decomposition that creates a skeleton-based shape representation of a 3D object while simultaneously decomposing it into constituent parts. Our approach probabilistically combines two prominent threads from the shape literature: skeleton-based (medial axis) representations of shape, and part-based representations of shape, in which shapes are combina...
متن کاملIdentification of Curvature Features with Use of Boundary-Skeleton Model of Image
A method of identification of curvature features for shape description and recognition is suggested. The method is based on the relation between local boundary features and the skeleton structure of a plain domain. It uses a continuous boundary-skeleton model of an image. The model consists of a boundary of a polygonal figure approximating a raster image, and a skeleton of the figure. To reveal...
متن کاملSemi-Continuity of Skeletons in 2-Manifold and Discrete Voronoi Approximation
The skeleton of a 2D shape is an important geometric structure in pattern analysis and computer vision. In this paper we study the skeleton of a 2D shape in a 2-manifoldM, based on a geodesic metric. We present a formal definition of the skeleton S(Ω) for a shape Ω inM and show several properties that make S(Ω) distinct from its Euclidean counterpart in R2. We further prove that for a shape seq...
