We frstly extract shapes from a sample mage and connectng pxels of ts contour. The extracted contour s smplfed by our algorthm and converted nto tangent functon whch s regarded as a feature. The tangent functon represented a shape s nput nto classfed system and compared wth tangent functon from exsted classes by computng ther dstance. The nput sample mage wll fnally be classfed nto a class that has mnmum dstance wth t. The expermental results show the proposed method can acheve hgh accuracy. Keywords hape classfcaton, contour, smplfcaton, tangent functon. C I. INTRODUCTION lassfyng a group of mages, tellng out whch class they belong to, s an mportant problem n shape classfcaton and mage retreval systems. hape classfcaton systems are generally used n applcatons lke mage databases n whch the shape segmented from an mage wll be classfed nto a class that have ext n database accordng to a defned crteron, whch judge how smlar or dssmlar the sample shape to those exsted n classes. Often the crteron, or called metrc, s features based. mply comparson of pxels does not work well on most systems, snce the dfference between mages s reflected on dfferences of certan features. hape s an mportant vsual feature of an mage for content-based mage retreval or recognton [1]. Technques for shape feature extracton can be generally classfed nto two categores: boundary-based methods and regon-based methods. Boundary-based methods are wdely used. They depend so much on the boundary that a slght change can cause grave retreve errors. Compared wth boundary-based ones, regon-based technques are comparatvely more sutable for general applcatons. Zernke Moments (ZM) method s one of the most desrable regon-based methods. The modfed ZM has been adopted by MPEG-7 as a standard regon-based descrptor. The generc Fourer Descrptor s another favorable method proposed n recent years. However, most of the exstng methods cannot acheve hgh recognton rate for mages wth complex nner shapes. Therefore, researches n the feld of smlarty measurng and mage matchng manly focus on mage features nowadays[1, 2]. For example, n[3], Inner-Dstance was used as an feature of shape that descrbed the characterstcs unque from others and n[4] Radon Composte Features was employed. One wdely used approach s template matchng. However, a drect template matchng also has ts man dsadvantage: very hgh computatonal cost. Ths s owng that representaton of template from mage can be complex n processng, for nstance, the hgher resoluton or more nose, the heaver computaton s requred. A meanngful smlarty measurng should have two mportant elements: fndng a set of features that adequately contan characterstcs that can be employed to dfferentate mages and endowng the feature space wth a proper metrc.[2] Researchers have also done substantal studes on that how to choose features for a partcular problem [5, 6]. On the other hand, desgnng a proper metrc s equally mportant. Most of the tme, a metrc s desgned for a specfc features. Mathematcans have establshed the reasonable archtecture for a metrc, defnng a metrc as a cost functon d(,) [7] satsfyng condtons: 1) d( A, B) 0 for all A and B. d( A, B) 0f and only f A=B. And (, ) 0 d A A n partcular a shape resembles tself. 3) d( A, B) d( B, A) for all A and B.(ymmetr 4) d( A, B) d( B, C) d( A, C) for all A, B and C. (Trangle Inequalt Moreover, a mature hape classfcaton system s also requred to be nvarant under transton, rotaton, and change of scale. Ths paper presented an approach to obtan an approxmaton of shape contour and proposed a novel approach to classfy shapes nto multple classes based on the tangent functon. The procedure of our system s gven as followng: Ths work was supported n part by the Research Commttee of Unversty of Macau under the Grant: RG056/08-09/PCM/FT. C.-M.

2 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CIRCUIT, YTEM AND IGNAL PROCEING Raw Image egmentaton mplfcaton Convert nto Tangent space mlarty Measure Fg. 1 The process of the proposed approach Result The raw mages are nput nto to a segmentaton system. The system extracts and segments the shape of objects by color, hue or even contrast etc. Extensve lterature and approaches concernng shape segmentaton are avalable.[1, 8] nce the standard dataset for mage retreval are smple shapes wth blank background and consderng ths paper manly focuses on shape rather than segmentaton, we supposed shapes have already segmented from mages. Here are workng steps n detals: 1. Extract shapes from a sample mage and connectng pxels of ts contour. 2. The smplfcaton s mposed on the shapes frstly. The output s a smplfed, de-nosed, and more lnear boundary and of less pxels whch preserves mportant and relevant shape nformaton of the orgnal mage. The remanng ponts consttute sgnfcant part of the shape. Ths step also reduces computatonal complexty for followng steps. 3. Every two consecutve ponts are vewed as a lne segment or vector. The smplfed shape s converted nto tangent space and angles of every two consecutve vectors are mapped to the range of tangent functon. 4. The array of values of Tangent functon s then nput nto classfcaton system. The system compares the tangent functon from sample wth those typcal tangent functons n each class. And fnally fnd out a class that has mnmum dstance wth the sample. We wll gve more detals n secton II n ths paper concernng contour smplfcaton. The detals of defnton and usage of tangent functon wll be provded n secton III. In secton IV, a procedure for a novel mage classfcaton system s gven and explaned n detals. An analyss on result and dscusson s presented n secton V. Fnally, a summary concluded ths approach n the last secton. II. CONTOUR IMPLIFICATION Generally, a segmented shape contans some nose or small dents whch contrbute lttle to ts features and decelerate the process of measurng. In psychology, there are strong evdence that concludes recognton from human vson manly reles on sgnfcant parts of shape.[9] Therefore, the nose and nsgnfcant nformaton on the boundary should be removed and those sgnfcant ponts on the large turnng corners should be remaned. A smplfcaton process s necessary before measurng n order to obtan a smpler shape that preserves the sgnfcant shape features. Another beneft of smplfcaton s to reduce data storage and therefore accelerate processng n later stage. The smplfcaton process s also called dscrete Curve Evoluton Procedure[10, 11]. The basc dea of smplfcaton s: we replace two consecutve lne segments on the contour wth a sngle lne segment jonng ther endponts, f jont condton of two consecutve lne segments lower than a pre-defned threshold. The jont condton s a functon whch s defned to compute the sgnfcance of the two consecutve lne segments and ther angle contrbuted to the whole shape. And our approach reduces every shape to a fxed number of ponts. To acheve ths, we frst defne the relevance functon Ks ( [10, 11]: ( s Ls ( 1) Ls ( Ks ( Ls ( ) Ls ( ) A s 1 B 1 2 s 2 ( s, s ) 1 2 Fg. 2 Turn angle Ks ( between two vectors The relevance functon Ks ( s defned on two consecutve vectors and ndcates how much sgnfcance the trangle consst of s 1 and s 2 contrbutes to the whole shape. The hgher value of Ks (, the more sgnfcance of the two consecutve vectors contrbute to the shape. If there s an, such that the Ks (, s 1) s mnmum and ponts of the shape are stll more than the pre-defned constant, the two vectors are to be replaced by one that connects the endponts. Ths operaton teratvely traverses the shape boundary untl number of ponts s reduced to our pre-defned value. From the defnton of Ks (, we can see that the larger angle and longer lne segments gves a hgher functon value so that a more sgnfcant part wll not be replaced. C (1) Issue 1, Volume 4,

In ths case, the scale of y-axs represents the change of drecton from prevous lne segment. From the fgure, after smplfcaton, the result generated a smplfed shape whch s more lnear and of less nose and preserved shape nformaton as well. Note that data of orgnal shape s array of locatons of neghborng ponts, whle data of smplfed one s array of dscrete ponts n clockwse orentaton. III. TANGENT FUNCTION A tangent functon s a representaton of a shape C and nterpreted as a polygonal curve wth all vertces wthout loss of nformaton. And reconstructon of the orgnal shape s reversble f the poston of one vertex s noted down n advance. A vector on boundary s mapped to a value and the whole shape s mapped nto a step functon whch can be vewed as a sgnal and analyzed by other tools, e.g. statonary wavelet. In [7, 8], tangent functon s defned as a step functon. Let C be a polygonal curve. It s defned as a 2 functon on C :[0,1], the length of C s rescaled to 1 n order to normalze the shape so that the smlarty measure between two shapes can be nvarant under scale-of-change. The tangent functon s also called a turnng functon whch s a mult-valued functon TC ( ):[0,1] [, ] defned by TC ( )( s) C ( s) and TC ( )( s) C ( s), where TC ( )( s) C ( s) and TC ( )( s) C ( s) are left and rght dervatves of C. The value of T( p ), p s a pont on C, s angle between a reference vector and the lne segment vector whch p lay on. IV. HAPE CLAIFICATION In classfcaton system, some templates should be stored n the system n advance and samples are nput nto the system then compared wth each template to determne whch class t belongs to. In our dea, templates are preprocessed and stored n the form of tangent functons. Each class may nclude several templates that shares some part features but wth dfferent vsual shapes. In order to compare templates and samples, the system extracts the boundary of samples, smplfes the boundary and converts t nto a form of tangent functon. The smlarty metrc s defned as follows[7]: 1 (, ) T () s T () s p DAB 0 A The degree of smlarty between two shapes A and B s measured by calculatng the metrcal dstance between two tangent functons. a) B ds ( b) Fg. 4 A smplfed boundary and ts tangent functon The tangent functon TC ( )( s ) traces where the turnng takes place on the contour, ncreasng wth left turns and decreasng wth rght turns, makes t a feature frequently used as a shape sgnature. [7, 12-15] In order to acheve rotaton nvarant, we would lke to modfy and mprove the orgnal tangent functon. In our verson, on one hand, we pck up the c) Fg. 5 c) the area between two tangent functons In Fg. 5, the area n gray s the dstance between two tangent functons. mlar tangent functons generate smaller Issue 1, Volume 4,

Therefore, classfcaton can be done by comparng the template from the sample wth each template of each class and fndng out that one whch has mnmal dstance wth the sample template. And fnally, the shape wll be classfed nto the class whch the mnmal dstance template belongs to. We also present our procedure n pseudo-code as follows: INPUT ample set: { s2,..., s n } ; Class set: C { CC,,..., C }; 1 2 m A Class wth several templates ncluded: Cj { tj1, tj2,...} PROCEDURE For =1 to n egment hape and extract boundary from mplfed the orgnal boundary Generate tangent functon Ts from smplfed boundary For j=1 to m For k=1 to the sze of ( C ) Compute dstance D( T s, t jk) Note down the Class ndex of mnmal D: Mn End End ample s classfed nto C Mn End V. EXPERIMENTAL REULT An experment for evaluatng ths approach s performed on a wdely used dataset provded by. [16] There are n total 99 samples n the dataset whch belongs to 9 classes. Each classes contans 11 samples wth relatvely smlar forms but nfluenced by occluson, rotaton, artculaton and mssng parts. And ths dataset s used as templates. Other datasets wth scaled rotated varatons are generated from the orgnal templates and used as samples. j s In our experment, we generated 16 sample datasets base on the orgnal one. They are rotated 0, 30, 45 and 90 degree and scaled 2/3, 1, 4/3 and 2 tmes respectvely. The overall results are showed as follows. All the shapes are smplfed nto fxed 28 ponts. TABLE I. Overall correctly classfcaton rates for each sample dataset caled Rotated 2/3 1 4/ % 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% % 85.9% 83.8% 84.9% % 85.9% 83.8% 85.9% % 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% % 99.0% 99.0% 99.0% From table I, we can see that the performance s qute nsenstve to change of scale. Even n the worst cases when all samples are scaled to 2/3, there are only 3 samples n a sample set msclassfed. Ths s manly because, after the smplfcaton, the length of boundary s normalzed and all of the reszed samples are compared n the same scale. However, we found that rotaton of samples affects the performance of ths approach sgnfcantly when samples are not rotated wth 90*n degree and t can be attrbuted to change of nose on the boundary, snce rotaton wth 90 degree wll not change relatve poston of ponts on boundary otherwse nose may be added and the relatve poston can be changed. Although rotaton and slght change on boundary mght affect tangent functon, tangent functons from the same category mantan relatvely smlar forms. Frst column n Table 1 s the worse cases.

By comparng the frst three ones, the translaton and sze nvarant features can be easly found out. Especally, when mages are rotated by 30 degrees, curve DF ( ) s shfted or rotated by 30 degrees. Ths characterstc nspres us to fnd a rotaton nvarant dscrmnaton, whch wll be covered n ecton 3. THE TATIONARY WAVELET TRANFORM Wavelets are mathematcal functons that cut up data nto dfferent frequency components, and then study each component wth a resoluton matched to ts scale. Classcal dscrete wavelet transform s not tme nvarant. In order to restore wavelet transform shft nvarance, the statonary wavelet transform (WT) was employed. tatonary wavelet transform (WT) s shft nvarant.

A modfed Radon transform plus a statonary wavelet transform, called Radon Wavelet Composte Descrptor (RWCD), can be used to descrbe nvarant shapes n sze, translaton and rotaton. RWCD s defned as RWCD swc( DFs ( ), Level, wname) (1 where 0,180, Parameter Level s used to decde the total number of sub-wavelets and RWCD s a matrx wth sze 180 by Level.

In the experments phase, t wll be adopted to determne the retreve or recognton results. Fg 9 selects four dfferent levels 4, 6, 8, and 10. Ths fgure shows that when level K ncreases, the recognton rates of the nne categores rse. The reason s that when K ncreases, the number of sub-wavelets rses, and the dstance between pctures s calculated n more detal.

Fg 9: Recognton Rates at Dfferent Levels hapes wth Complex Inner tructure As a regon-based analyss method, RWCD can deal wth shapes wth complex nner structures. A test shape database s Issue 1, Volume 4,
7 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CIRCUIT, YTEM AND IGNAL PROCEING used here. Ths database conssts of 504 mages whch are selected from the MPEG-7 (CE- regon-based database. They are organzed nto 24 groups, as shown n Fg 10. In each group there are 10 smlar shapes ncludng four scaled ones, and fve rotated ones. The precson recall dagrams are presented n Fg 11 by comparng wth two classcal retreval methods, Zernke Moments [9] and Generc Fourer Descrptors[10]. VI. CONCLUION In ths paper, we proved that tangent functon can be appled on classfcaton system and our experment result turned out to be reasonably good. However, we also found that changes of nose on the contour affect the tangent functons generated from mages. That may lead to dfferent tangent functons from same shape wth dfferent degrees rotated. For nstance, B s a rotated shape from A. They may have dfferent tangent functons. And dstance between A and B may be larger than certan neghbor shape of B. Fortunately; even f mnmum dstance s from another shape from the same category, we found most shapes mantan very small dstance when rotated, whle have large dstance wth shapes n other categores. REFERENCE Fg 10: hape database selected from the MPEG-7 (CE- Fg 11 reflects that the more detal the mages s, the hgher recognton rate s. In order to rase the recognton rate, the sze of the orgnal mages can be ncreased.

It can be observed that the proposed RWCD method can handle shapes wth complex nner structures more effectvely. Fg 12: Recognton Rates of Dfferent Retreval Methods. [1] R. E. w. Rafael C.
