Abstract

Belongie et al. used sets of shape contexts for contours at certain landmarks and showed that they offer good results in shape matching. We propose a better selection of landmark points based on a low-pass filtering of the shape contour and consider that shape context at landmarks along the contour form a cyclic sequence. These cyclic sequences can be properly compared by means of Cyclic Dynamic Time Warping, as shown in the paper. Experiments on the MPEG7 CE-Shape-1 and the SQUID Demo databases show that our proposal outperforms the WARP system and Belongie’s approach for shape retrieval.
