Abstract
We propose an error-tolerant subgraph isomorphism algorithm
formulated in terms of region adjacency graphs (RAG). A set of edit
operations to transform one RAG into another one are defined as regions
are represented by polylines and string matching techniques are used to
measure their similarity. The algorithm follows a branch and bound
approach driven by the RAG edit operations. This formulation allows
matching computing under distorted inputs and also reaching a solution
in a near polynomial time. The algorithm has been used for recognizing
symbols in hand drawn diagrams
