Abstract

Shape information is essential for image understanding. Decomposing images into shape patterns using a learned dictionary can provide an effective image representation. However, most of the dictionary based methods retain no structure information between dictionary elements. In this study, We propose Hierarchical Dictionary Shape Decomposition (HiDiShape) to learn a hierarchical dictionary for image shape patterns. Shift Invariant Sparse Coding and HMAX model are combined to decompose image into common shape patterns. And the Sparse Spatial and Hierarchical Regularization (SSHR) is proposed to organize these shape patterns to construct tree structured dictionary. Experiments show that the proposed HiDiShape method can learn tree structured dictionaries for complex shape patterns, and the hierarchical dictionaries improve the performances of corrupted shape reconstruction task.
