Abstract

In this paper, a multiscale wavelet-based algorithm formatching stand-alone shapes is developed. The algorithmuses the Dyadic Wavelet Transform (DWT) to decompose ashapeýs boundary into multi-scale levels. Features are extractedby calculating the curve moment invariants of theapproximation coefficients. If the measured dissimilarity issmall, then the shapes are globally similar. Local similarityis investigated by calculating the normalized cross correlationof the 1-D triangle area representation of the detailcoefficients. The presented algorithm not only finds similarshapes, but it also can easily distinguish between seeminglysimilar shapes. The algorithm is invariant to the affine transformationand to the starting point variation of the shapecontour.
