Use of Homeomorphic Hausdorff Metric for Symbol Recognition

W. Oganowsky (Kiev, Ukraine)

Abstract:

The purpose of object matching is to decide the similarity between two objects. Well- known Hausdorff distance can be used for solution of this problem. However, Hausdorff distance don't preserved the structure of sets of points, which causes improper results in many task of image recognition. Homeomorphic Hausdorff Distance (HHD), introduced in this work, is free of this fault. An efficient algorithm for computing HHD introduced. Use of the HHD for symbol recognition considered.
