Using mean curvature (H) and Gaussian curvature (K) values or shape index (S) and curvedness (C) values, HK and SC curvature spaces are constructed in order to classify surface patches into types such as pits, peaks, saddles etc. Since both HK and SC curvature spaces classify surface patches in to similar types, their classification capabilities are comparable. Previously, HK and SC curvature spaces were compared in terms of their classification ability only at the given data resolution [2]. When calculating H. K, C and S values, the scale/resolution ratio is highly effective. However, due to its scale invariant nature, shape index (S) values are independent of the resolution or the scale. Thus it is no wonder that SC method gives better results than HK method when the comparison is carried out at an uncontrolled scale/resolution level. In this study, the scale/resolution ratio is set to a constant value for the whole database and scale spaces based on both HK and SC methods are built. Scale and orientation invariant features are extracted using scale spaces and these features are used in object recognition tasks. The methods are compared both mathematically and experimentally in terms of their surface classification and object recognition performances.

A compact shape descriptor based on the beam angle statistics Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2003-01-01) In this study, we propose a compact shape descriptor, which represents the 2-D shape information by 1-D functions. For this purpose a two-step method is proposed. In the first step, the 2-D shape information is mapped into 1-D moment functions without using a predefined resolution. The mapping is based on the beams, which are originated from a boundary point, connecting that point with the rest of the points on the boundary. At each point, the angle between a pair of beams is taken as a random variable to d...
Shape recognition with generalized beam angle statistics Tola, OO; Arica, N; Yarman-Vural, F (2004-01-01) In this study, we develop a new shape descriptor and a matching algorithm in order to find a given template shape in an edge detected image without extracting the boundary. The shape descriptor based on Generalized Beam Angle Statistics (GBAS) defines the angles between the lines connecting each boundary point with the rest of the points, as random variable. Then, it assigns a feature vector to each point using the moments of beam angles. The proposed matching algorithm performs shape recognition by matchin...
Continuous dimensionality characterization of image structures Felsberg, Michael; Kalkan, Sinan; Kruger, Norbert (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-04) Intrinsic dimensionality is a concept introduced by statistics and later used in image processing to measure the dimensionality of a data set. In this paper, we introduce a continuous representation of the intrinsic dimension of an image patch in terms of its local spectrum or, equivalently, its gradient field. By making use of a cone structure and barycentric co-ordinates, we can associate three confidences to the three different ideal cases of intrinsic dimensions corresponding to homogeneous image patche...
Relative consistency of projective reconstructions obtained from the same image pair Otlu, Burcak; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit; Hassanpour, Reza (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-08-01) This study obtains projective reconstructions of an object or a scene from its image pair and measures relative consistency of these projective reconstructions. 3D points are estimated from an image pair using projective and epipolar geometry. Two measures are presented for verification of projective reconstructions with each other. These measures are based on the equality of ratios between the x-, y- and z-coordinates of 3D reconstructed points which are obtained from the same corresponding points. This in...
Nested local symmetry set Tarı, Zehra Sibel (Elsevier BV, 2000-08-01) A local-symmetry-based representation for shapes in arbitrary dimensions and a method for its computation are presented. The method depends on analyzing the Hessian of a specific boundaryness function, v, which is computed as the minimizer of an energy functional. The method is basically a generalized ridge finding scheme in which the ridges are defined in terms of the orbit of the gradient vector del v under the action of the Hessian of v. Once the ridges are determined, the local extrema of the magnitude ...
