Abstract

Structural pattern recognition for image understanding is based on the detection of elementary patterns which compose the structural description of the objects to be recognized and located in scenes. Detection of these elementary patterns in piecewise linear contours is the first step in the recognition task for which a new algorithm is presented in this paper. The representation of a pattern model is the set of the linear segments obtained during the learning phase from the segmentation of its contour. The detection of the occurrences of a pattern in a scene is made according to a hypothesis-accumulation procedure followed by a peak picking search in a two dimensional array. Experimental results of pattern detection are also given.
