We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
This paper compares two methods for object localization from contours: shape context and chamfer matching of templates. In the light of our experiments, we suggest improvements to...

Abstract Constructing correspondencesbetween points characterizing one shape with those characterizing another is crucial to understanding what the two shapes have in common. These...
This paper presents a new shape registration algorithm that establishes "meaningful correspondence" between objects, in that it preserves the local shape correspondence ...

Given two shapes, the correspondence between distinct visual features is the basis for most alignment processes and shape similarity measures. This paper presents an approach intr...
