Probabilistic approaches to matching and modelling shapes

Comparing contours is an important problem in content-based image retrieval and object recognition. While humans can easily assess the similarity of two contours, a generic algorithm for approximating this ‘perceptual distance’ has proved elusive. We argue that a multiscale approach is required for...
