Superordinate shape classification using natural shape statistics.
This paper investigates the classification of shapes into broad natural categories such as animal or leaf. We asked whether such coarse classifications can be achieved by a simple statistical classification of the shape skeleton. We surveyed databases of natural shapes, extracting shape skeletons and tabulating their parameters within each class, seeking shape statistics that effectively discri...
متن کاملGap Shape Classification using Landscape Indices and Multivariate Statistics
This study proposed a novel methodology to classify the shape of gaps using landscape indices and multivariate statistics. Patch-level indices were used to collect the qualified shape and spatial configuration characteristics for canopy gaps in the Lienhuachih Experimental Forest in Taiwan in 1998 and 2002. Non-hierarchical cluster analysis was used to assess the optimal number of gap clusters ...
متن کاملShape Classification with Statistical Classifiers using Morphological Shape Representation Features
This paper compares the performance of four statistical classifiers, namely linear discriminant classifier, quadratic discriminant classifier, k-Nearest Neighborhood classifier, and parzen classifier are considered for recognition of 2D-shapes. The two features from morphological skeletons and four features from morphological shape decomposition are identified from 2D-shapes. These features are...
متن کاملDirectional Statistics and Shape
There have been various developments in shape analysis in the last decade. We describe here some relationships of shape analysis with directional statistics. For shape, rotations are to be integrated out or to be optimized over whilst they are the basis for directional statistics. However, various concepts are connected. In particular, certain distributions of directional statistics have emerge...
متن کاملShape matching and classification using height functions
We propose a novel shape descriptor for matching and recognizing 2D object silhouettes. The contour of each object is represented by a fixed number of sample points. For each sample point, a height function is defined based on the distances of the other sample points to its tangent line. One compact and robust shape descriptor is obtained by smoothing the height functions. The proposed descript...
