Partially occluded object matching via multi-level description and evaluation of contour features
As traditional object matching algorithms can not match precisely a partially occuluded object
this paper proposes a novel partially occluded object matching algorithm based on the description and evaluation of contour features. Firstly
the contour fragments to describe the local object feature are obtained by splitting the object contour with contour curvature
and those contour fragments are merged and classified according to the object skeleton to describe the object features at multi-levels. Then
two evaluation parameters
importance and partiality
are defined for those contour fragments. The former evaluates the importance of the local feature
and the latter evaluates the proportion of contour fragment to the whole contour. Finally
the two evaluation parameters of contour fragment and the similarity between contour fragments are derived to obtain the weighted partial similarity to measure the matching degree of the partially occluded object reasonably and to obtain the optimal matching result. Compared with some current matching algorithms
the proposed algorithm improves the average recognition rate about 1.5% under various occluded cases.
