Abstract

We propose two computational approaches for improving the retrieval of planar shapes. First, we suggest .a geometrically motivated quadratic similarity measure, that IS optimized by way of spectral relaxation of quadratic assignment. By utilizing state-of-the-art shape descriptors and pairwise serialization constraint, we derive a formulation that is resilient to boundary noise, articulations and nonrigid deforma. tionds. This allows both shape matching and retrieval. We also mtro uce a shape meta-similarity measure that agglomerates pairwise shape similarities and improves the retrieval accuracy. When applied to the MPEG-7 shape dataset in conjunction with the proposed geometric matching scheme, we obtained a retrieval rate of 92.5%.
