SHAPE COMPARISON BASED ON SKELETON ISOMORPHISM

Abstract

A new approach to shape comparison problem is presented in this work. The approach is based on skeleton isomorphism. We propose a shape metrics construction instrument which is based on finding close shapes having isomorphic continuous skeletons. We propose several metrics based on this instrument that can be used for shape comparison. The main advantage over existing approaches is mathematically correctly defined shape metrics via Hausdorff distance. The efficiency of the proposed approach is confirmed on the shapes recognition problem.
