A New Normalized Method of Object Shape-based Recognition and Localization

Abstract

This paper introduces a new normalized measure for the assessment of a contour-based object pose. This algorithm allows a supervised assessment of recognition and localization of known objects, the differences between a reference edge map and a candidate image are quantified by computing a performance measure. This measure is normalized and is able determine the degree to which an object shape differs from a desired position. Compared to 6 other approaches, experiments on real images at different sizes/scales exhibit the suitability of the new method for an object pose or shape matching estimation.
