Abstract

In this paper we describe the Euclidean signature curves for two dimensional closed curves in the plane and will give a discrete numerical method for finding such invariant curves. Further we describe an analog of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and present data and noise reduction techniques as well as an optimal combination of normalizing transformations to categorize signature curves. We will then introduce a system for determining the correct category for a new object from a pre-existing database of information on objects and give an example for sorting out leaves of two types of trees regardless of their orientation using their signature curves.
