Abstract

In this paper a novel approach to contour-based 2D shape recognition is proposed. The main idea is to characterize the contour of an object using the multifractional Brownian motion (mBm), a mathematical method able to capture the local self similarity and long-range dependence of a signal. The mBm estimation results in a sequence of Hurst coefficients, which we used to derive a fixed size feature vector. Preliminary experimental evaluations using simple classifiers with these feature vectors produce encouraging results, also in comparison with the state of the art.
