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 define the statistics of the topological structure of the boundary. The second order statistics of all the beam angles is used to construct 1-D Beam Angle Statistics (BAS) functions. In the second step, the 1-D functions are further compressed by using Discrete Fourier Transforms applied on the BAS functions of the shape boundary. BAS function is invariant to translation, rotation and scale. It is insensitive to distortions. Experiments are done on the dataset of MPEG 7 Core Experiments Shape-1. It is observed that proposed shape descriptor outperforms the popular MPEG 7 shape descriptors.

SCALE-SPACE APPROACH FOR THE COMPARISON OF HK AND SC CURVATURE DESCRIPTIONS AS APPLIED TO OBJECT RECOGNITION Akagunduz, Erdem; Eskizara, Oemer; Ulusoy, İlkay (2009-11-10) 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 calculatin...
A Non-Structural Representation Scheme for Articulated Shapes Genctav, Asli; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (2018-10-01) Articulated shapes are successfully represented by structural representations which are organized in the form of graphs of shape components. We present an alternative representation scheme which is equally powerful but does not require explicit modeling or discovery of structural relations. The key element in our scheme is a novel multi scale pixel-based distinctness measure which implicitly quantifies how rare a particular pixel is in terms of its geometry with respect to all pixels of the shape. The spati...
A perceptual shape descriptor Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2002-08-15) In this study, we present the two dimensional object silhouette by a one dimensional descriptor, which,preserves the perceptual structure of its shape. The proposed descriptor is based on the moments of the angles between the bearings of a point on the boundary, in a set of neighborhood systems. At each point on the boundary, the angle between a pair of bearings is calculated to extract the topological information of the boundary in a given locality. The proposed method does not use any-heuristic rule or em...
A normalized set of force and permeance data for doubly-salient magnetic geometries Mahariq, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this study, a model is developed to represent doubly-salient magnetic circuits and to fit finite element analysis for the aim of obtaining a set of normalized normal force, tangential force, and permeance variation data. To obtain the desired data FE field solution method is used. The reliability of finite element results have been verified by three steps; first, comparing the numerical results with analytically calculated permeance, second, by solving two switch reluctance motors and comparing the resul...
A generative model for multi class object recognition and detection Ulusoy, İlkay (2006-01-01) In this study, a generative type probabilistic model is proposed for object recognition. This model is trained by weakly labelled images and performs classification and detection at the same time. When test on highly challenging data sets, the model performs good for both tasks (classification and detection).
