Fractal Dependence Graph in 2D Shapes Recognition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fractal geometry is an useful approach in pattern recognition. Many fractal recognition methods use global analysis of the shape. In this paper we present a new fractal recognition method based on a dependence graph obtained from the PIFS. Moreover, this method uses local analysis of the shape which improves the recognition rate. The recognition algorithms have been tested to provide a feasible classification of the possible errors present in our similar object images datebase.
