In this paper, spherical harmonics are proposed as shape descriptors for 2d images. We introduce the concept of connectivity; 2d images are decomposed using connectivity which is ...
Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations....
Increasing applications are demanding effective and efficient support to perform retrieval in large collections of digital images. The work presented here is an early stage resear...

This paper advises the use of k-dimensional size functions for comparison and retrieval in the context of multidimensional shapes, where by shape we mean something in two or highe...
