Abstract

In this paper we propose a new approach for image classification by simplifying contour of shape and making use of the tangent function as image feature. We firstly extract shapes from a sample image and connecting pixels of its contour. The extracted contour is simplified by our algorithm and converted into tangent function which is regarded as a feature. The tangent function represented a shape is input into classified system and compared with tangent function from existed classes by computing their distance. The input sample image will finally be classified into a class that has minimum distance with it. The experimental results show the proposed method can achieve high accuracy.
