A Comparative Study on Shape Reorganization

S. Suresh, R Siva Ram Prasad

Abstract


This paper proposes a new mechanism for identifying two-dimensional shapes called the SKS algorithm and compares it with three other state-of-art methods in detail. These include the Hu Moments, CSS matching and Shape context. The algorithm uses the philosophy of evidence accumulation equal to generalized Hough transform and is highly parallel in nature. The performance of each algorithm is evaluated under affine transforms - translation, rotation in the plane, scale (zoom) and also under partial occlusion.
