Content based shape image retrieval is an important problem which gained the attention of the community. The challenge is to map the shape into compact and robust descriptor. This study presents a generalization of the Angular Radial Transform (ART). The ART, recommended by the MPEG-7 standard, is only limited to binary images and is not robust to perspective deformations. We propose two generalizations of the ART allowing to apply it to color images and to make it robust to all possible rotations and to perspective deformations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
