SHAPE RETRIEVAL USING CONTOUR FEATURES AND DISTANCE OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

This paper presents a shape descriptor based on a set of features computed for each point of an object contour. We also present an algorithm for distance optimization based on the similarity among ranked lists. Experiments were conducted on two well-known data sets: MPEG-7 and Kimia. Experimental results demonstrate that the combination of the two methods is very effective and yields better results than recently proposed shape descriptors.
