Abstract

Descriptors are a powerful tool in digital image analysis. Performance of tasks such as image matching and object recognition is strongly dependent on the visual descriptors that are used. The dimension of the descriptor has a direct impact on the time the analysis take, and less dimensions are desirable for fast matching. In this paper we use a type of region called curvilinear region. This approach is based on Marr's visual theory. Marr supposed that every object can be divided in its constituent parts, being this parts cylinders. So, we suppose also that in every image there must be curvilinear regions that are easy to detect. We propose a very short descriptor to use with these curvilinear regions in order to classify these regions for higher visual tasks.
