Image morphing techniques can create a smooth transition between two images. However, one of the main weaknesses of the image morphing technique is that intermediate images in the transition often have physically incorrect shading such as highlights and shadows. Moreover, we cannot alter viewing and

โฆ Synopsis
A novel method based on shape morphing is proposed for 2D shape recognition. In this framework, the shape of objects is described by using their contour. Shape recognition involves a morph between the contours of the objects being compared. The morph is quanti"ed by using a physics-based formulation. This quanti"cation is used as a dissimilarity measure to "nd the reference shape most similar to the input. The dissimilarity measure is shown to have the properties of a metric as well as invariance to Euclidean transformations. The recognition paradigm is applicable to both convex and non-convex shapes. Moreover, the applicability of the method is not constrained to closed shapes. Based on the metric properties of the dissimilarity method, a search strategy is described that obviates an exhaustive search of the template database during recognition experiments. Experimental results on the recognition of various types of shapes are presented.

This paper presents a novel approach to planar shape recognition using wavelets. There are two stages, called representation stage and recognition stage, in the proposed method. In the representation stage, in order to extract the features of a shape, a set of wavelet basis are investigated, and wav
In this paper, we will study the recognition problem for finite point configurations, in a statistical manner. We study the statistical theory of shape for ordered finite point configurations, or otherwise stated, the uncertainty of geometric invariants. Here, a general approach for defining shape a
