Shape recognition using a novel fractal technique

Neil, Geoff; Curtis, K. Mervin; Craven, Michael

Abstract

Fractal transformations are an exciting new scale invariant shape recognition technique developed by the authors. They have been successfully used for spatially invariant shape recognition using a cumbersome rotational invariance algorithm. Within this paper a new rotational invariance algorithm is presented which makes the recognition process inherently rotationally invariant. A full discussion of fractal recognition is given and previous results discussed. The new algorithm is detailed and applied to a difficult recognition problem. The results of this application show that the new algorithm is successful in achieving the desired effect.
