A ~ s ~ Q c ~ A method for the recognition of multifont printed characters is proposed, giving emphasis to the identification of structural descriptions of character shapes using prototypes. Noise and shape variations are modeled as series of transformations from groups of features in the data to features in each prototype. Thus, the method manages systematically the relative distortion between...

The ability to recognize shape is crucial in many vision applications. If a given shape could be accurately modelled and matched to a base shape with some degree of certainty, then the a host of applications can be developed from computer vision to medical imaging. This project analyses some newly developed ideas which seek to extend well known notions of shape modelling by skeleton and probabi...
