Research Project:

Edit-Distance Based Algorithms for Shape-Based Retrieval of Images

Goal: Enable shape-based retrieval from an image database
  • input: shape sketch
  • output: images in database that most closely match input shape
Question: How to measure similarity of shapes?
Answer: Compare their skeletons (labeled graphs)

Project status: Complete
