Abstract

A novel method is presented to evaluate the similarity of shapes based on the curvature features and their distribution. Firstly the curvature information is used to define the curvature features, which are learned and searched by the proposed statistic method. Secondly the structural features of each pair are measured, so that the distribution of the curvature feature can be further measured. Taking both advantages of the local shape context analysis and the global feature distances optimization, our method can endure large nonrigid distortion and occlusion. The experiments, which have been implemented on the MPEG-7 shape database, show that this method is efficient and robust under certain shape distortion. Another experiment on the abnormal behavior detection shows its potential in shape detection, motion tracking, image retrieving and the related areas.
