Abstract
The authors present a planar shape recognition approach based on
the hidden Markov model and autoregressive parameters. This approach
segments closed shapes to make classifications at a finer level. The
algorithm can tolerate a lot of shape contour perturbation and a
moderate amount of occlusion. An orientation scheme is described to make
the overall classification insensitive to shape orientation. Excellent
recognition results have been reported. A distinct advantage of the
approach is that the classifier does not have to be trained again when a
new class of shapes is added
