A Modified Fourier Descriptor for Shape Matching in MARS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a Modiied Fourier Descriptor and a new distance measure for describing and comparing closed planar curves. Our method accounts for spatial discretization of shapes, an issue seldom mentioned, much less addressed in the literature. The motivating application is shape matching in the Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval System (MARS), our content-based image retrieval system. The application requires a compact and reliable representation of object boundaries in the image database, and a similarity measure that can be computed in real time. We test our shape matching method on a set of Roman characters. Results indicate that our method is a feasible solution for real time shape comparison.

متن کاملA 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 کاملA modified shape context method for shape based object retrieval
The complexity in shape context method and its simplification is addressed. A novel, but simple approach to design shape context method including Fourier Transform for the object recognition is described. Relevance of shape context, an important descriptor for the recognition process is detailed. Inclusion of information regarding all the contour points (with respect to a reference point) in co...
متن کامل3 D face recognition using Contour , Fourier Descriptors
In this paper a contour matching based face recognition system is proposed, which uses “Fourier Descriptor of contour” for identification of faces. The feasibility of using contour and FD’s matching for human face identification is presented through experiment. The Fourier descriptor is used to describe the boundary of a shape in 2 dimensional space.The advantage of using the Fourier descriptor...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study on Various Combinations of Shape Descriptors and Matching Methods Applied in the General Shape Analysis Problem
The aim of the General Shape Analysis (GSA) is to find one or a few most similar general templates for a processed object — exact identification is not performed, but the general shape features are obtained. The GSA approach may be applied for coarse separation of objects in the database prior to their classification or in the case when the data are incomplete or there is a high variability wit...
