Shape characterization and its applications
Liang Chi Shen, Yi Shen, Rangaraj Mandayam Rangayyan · 2002
A new concept called the shape spectrum is proposed in this paper for shape characterization of image features. A multi-tolerance region growing method and a shape feature set are first introduced. Some general shape characterization methods, such as shape-factor-converted images, shape histogram, and shape spectrum, are then described. Preliminary results of application to synthesized images are presented.>
