Resumo
In this report a new method for polygonal modeling of two dimensional shapes and an
associated method for shape recognition are presented.
The modeling method works along the shape boundary,
looking for vertices among the points where changes of direction take place.
Local geometrical features of the model can be extracted during this modeling
phase to be used later in the recognition process.
Shape fidelity of the polygonal model can be controlled by an appropriate choice of
parameters.
The method for shape recognition matches local geometric features of models in order to
identify and locate bjects
present in a scene. Identification can be performed even in the presence of
partial object occlusion.
Both methods were conceived to explore the use of parallelism by implementing
concurrently the operations involved in image segmentation, model building and
recognition.
Therefore, they are very appropriate for a parallel hardware implementation.
Although being developed as part of the same vision
system,
the two methods are not interdependent and can be utilized isolated.
