Image shape matching is prime concern in object recognition and identification methods. An image matching is a means of determining the resemblance of one image with the other image. Images are matched based on their shape and texture and it finds variety of applications ranging from image retrieval, object recognition, remote sensing, image classification, image analysis and so on. In general, image matching techniques are classified into structure- based [1] [2] and feature-based [3][4] methods. Structure-based methods compare the shape/ structure and the size of the images, whereas the feature- based methods examine the image features like color and texture in addition to size and shape. Therefore, the image shape and size are the most …show more content…
By searching correct feature point and setting bidirectional threshold value,the matching process can be quickly and precisely implemented with optimistic result. The resemblance of two images is defined as the overall similarity between two families of image features[1]. Same proportion image matching algorithm using bi-directional threshold image matching technique is used. Small window of pixels in a reference image (template) is compared with equally sized windows of pixels in other (target) images. In FBM, instead of matching all pixels in an image, only selected points with certain features are to be matched. Area based matching provide low speed. feature based matching algorithm is faster in comparison to the area based matching technique. feature based matching time complexity depend on number of feature to be selected as well as right or wrong threshold. If the number of feature are high then sometimes it takes more computational time in comparison to area based feature. The number of features extracted from an image depends largely on the contents of an image. If there are high variations then features computed are high. This reduces time efficiency to
Critical Evaluation of a Theoretical Approach Used to Describe Pattern/Object Recognition Pattern/object recognition is concerned with the processes involved in the identification of images and objects. This essentially involves taking information that enters the visual system and comparing this with information stored in memory, and finding a match. There are three approaches within pattern recognition; template and prototype theories, feature comparison theories and structural theories. The focus of this essay is feature comparison theories, their advantages and disadvantages and their overall success in pattern/object recognition. Feature comparison models were developed in response to the many problems found with template and prototype theories.
...ge flow and pattern types, are prominent enough to align fingerprints directly. Nilsson [26] detected the core point by complex filters applied to the orientation field in multiple resolution scales, and the translation and rotation parameters are simply computed by comparing the coordinates and orientation of the two core points. Jain [27] predefined four types of kernel curves:first is arch, second is left loop ,third is right loop and fourth is whorl, each with several subclasses respectively. These kernel curves were fitted with the image, and then used for alignment. Yager [28] proposed a two stage optimization alignment combined both global and local features. It first aligned two fingerprints by orientation field, curvature maps and ridge frequency maps, and then optimized by minutiae. The alignment using global features is fast but not robust, because the
Color is widely remarked as one of the most demonstrative visual features, and as such it has been largely studied in the context of CBIR, thus number one to a rich variety of descriptors. As traditional color features used in CBIR, there are color histogram, color correlogram, and dominant color descriptor (DCD) [1,3,4]. A simple color similarity between two images can be
The painting has an order and there are different shapes and angles. Rectangular shape is main trend around this piece, including the wooden chest, the leg rest and the canvass. Also things overlap, creating the illusion of the shape look closer to viewer than the shape behind it. The example in this piece would be the chair on which Adelaide Labille Guiard sits be close to viewer than the girls behind it. This adds depth to the space. Also due to linear perspective girls behind the chair are smaller due to being farther away.

Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is the method of extraction of vehicle number plate information from an image or a sequence of images. The extracted data can be used in many applications, such as toll booths and vehicle parking areas where payment can be done electronically and traffic surveillance systems. The images are taken by the ANPR systems using either a color , black and white or an infrared camera, depending on which different techniques are applied for extraction of information. The quality of image plays a vital role in the successful extraction of license data. For ANPR to be a real life application it has to quickly and successfully process license plates under different environmental conditions, such as day
Imagine that it is the end of a long week of finals, and you want to relax and enjoy your much deserved trip to the beach. However, when you get there, you immediately feel disgusted because the pearl-white sand is covered by trash, and your hopes are shattered. Although the United States isn’t an island, it has its share of beaches, and they are all familiar with pollution. Pollution is one of the largest causes of deaths worldwide. Since the United States is one of the top consumers of the world, it needs to give back as much as it’s taking in. Without a doubt, the U.S.A. is one of the top countries to live in, but the amount of consumption and pollution is outrageous and needs to be addressed immediately.
This paper focuses on the photographic image as a testament and document. The research draws upon mostly primary sources including interviews, published articles and books written by critical writers on photography. Examples that contribute the photographic image, as document and testament, will be introduced.

Most attention studies look at a one-on-one situation in which one sound is presented with one visual image [1]. However, we know that in an environment that is teeming with an overwhelming amount of visual, auditory, gustation, olfaction, and somatosensory input into the body. So while a one-to-one relationship in regards to vision and visual stimulus may provide a sound starting point for investigations into visual attention it may not pose the most significant results for real world application. I feel that a much more realistic, in regards to actual experiences we face, should explore how other systems interact with the visual system, and eventually, exploring how the integration of many sensory systems plays a role in visual attention.

Thresholding technique is based on image space regions i.e. on characteristics of image. Thresholding operation convert a multilevel image into a binary that is it choose a proper thresholding T, to divide image pixels into several regions and separate objects from background. Any pixel (x, y) is considered as a part of object if its intensity is greater than or equal to threshold value i.e., f(x, y) ≥T, else pixel belong to background.
Shape is a visually perceived area created either by an enclosing line or by color or value changes defining the outer edge. Shape and form are terms that are generally synonymous, although, shape is more precise in description, while form has a broader meaning in art and design (Lauer & Pentak, 2012, p. 152).
Society has increasingly placed a high value on image, which has had a profound effect on people, from how to dress, talk, behave, things they idolize, or deem important. Image is a physical likeness, representation, or appearance of a person, or thing, photographed, painted, or otherwise made visible. Image is one of the oldest form of nonverbal communication used to appeal to others; people often judge your integrity, accountability, or professionalism based on appearance. Having the right image can go a long way, by providing opportunities, highlight qualities, and even present life changing experiences. Image is how someone, a group, or corporation, present themselves to the world, it tells a little about who they are. Therefore, image gives an insight to spectators, who form opinions solely on appearances, which is very important as first impressions last.
