On Nonrigid Shape Similarity and Correspondence
An important operation in geometry processing is finding the correspondences
between pairs of shapes. The Gromov-Hausdorff distance, a measure of
dissimilarity between metric spaces, has been found to be highly useful for
nonrigid shape comparison. Here, we explore the applicability of related shape
similarity measures to the problem of shape correspondence, adopting spectral
type distances. We propose to evaluate the spectral kernel distance, the
spectral embedding distance and the novel spectral quasi-conformal distance,
comparing the manifolds from different viewpoints. By matching the shapes in
the spectral domain, important attributes of surface structure are being
aligned. For the purpose of testing our ideas, we introduce a fully automatic
framework for finding intrinsic correspondence between two shapes. The proposed
method achieves state-of-the-art results on the Princeton isometric shape
matching protocol applied, as usual, to the TOSCA and SCAPE benchmarks
Word Image Matching Based on Hausdorff Distances
Hausdorff distance (HD) and its modifications provides
one of the best approaches for matching of binary images.
This paper proposes a formalism generalizing almost
all of these HD based methods. Numerical experiments
for searching words in binary text images are carried
out with old Bulgarian typewritten text, printed Bulgarian
Chrestomathy from 1884 and Slavonic manuscript
from 1574
Hausdorff distances for searching in binary text images
Hausdorff distance (HD) seems the most efficient instrument
for measuring how far two compact non-empty subsets of a metric space are from each other. This paper considers the possibilities provided by HD and some of its modifications used recently by many authors for resemblance between binary text images. Summarizing part of the existing word image matching methods, relied on HD, we investigate a new similar parameterized method which contains almost all of them as particular cases. Numerical experiments for searching words in binary text images are carried out with
333 pages of old Bulgarian typewritten text, 200 printed pages of Bulgarian Chrestomathy from year 1884, and 200 handwritten pages of Slavonic manuscript from year 1574. They outline how the parameters must be set in order
to use the advantages of the proposed method for the purposes of word matching in scanned document images
Text Search in Document Images Based on Hausdorff Distance Measures
The Hausdorff type distances between the sets of points on the plane are the commonly used similarity measures for binary images. In this work we present several such measures in a unified manner and introduce a new, naturally arisen variant of Hausdorff distance. The matching performance of all similarity measures is compared by computer experiments, using real word images from a scanned book
