The main perspective of this work is to use this lo-
cal description to perform accurate segmentation. An
oriented graph may be created with all the contour
segments. The graph edges will be weighted with val-
ues found by our method. A shortest-path algorithm,
such as Dijkstra’s algorithm, will find the most likely
contour segment cycle representing the person’s sil-
houette.
