Graph matching for object recognition and recovery

摘要

A robust skeleton-based graph matching method for object recognition and recovery applications is presented. The object model uses both a skeleton model and contour segment models, for object recognition and recovery. The presented skeleton-based shape matching method uses a combination of both structural and statistical methods that are applied in a sequential manner, which largely reduce the matching space when compared with previous works. This also provides a good alternate means to alleviate difficulties encountered in segmentation problems. Experiments of object recovery using real biomedical image samples have shown satisfactory results.
