Abstract

This paper advises the use of k-dimensional size functions for comparison and retrieval in the context of multidimensional shapes, where by shape we mean something in two or higher dimensions having a visual appearance. The attractive feature of k-dimensional size functions is that they allow to readily establish a similarity measure between shapes of arbitrary dimension, taking into account different properties expressed by a multivalued real function defined on the shape. In particular, we outline the potential of this approach in a series of experiments.
