COMBINING SHAPE DESCRIPTORS AND COMPONENT-TREE FOR RECOGNITION OF ANCIENT GRAPHICAL DROP CAPS

Benoît Naegel, Laurent Wendling

2009

Abstract

The component-tree structure allows to analyse the connected components of the threshold sets of an image by means of various criteria. In this paper we propose to extend the component-tree structure by associating robust shape-descriptors to its nodes. This allows an efficient shape based classification of the image connected components. Based on this strategy, an original and generic methodology for object recognition is presented. This methodology has been applied to segment and recognize ancient graphical drop caps.
