“…In this context, geometry-based descriptions can provide a broad set of theories, methods, and tools to efficiently manage the visual information related to shapes. Shape and geometric classic ontologies have been applied to a number of different domains, such as bird classification, 19 engineering processes, 20,21 or imaging 22 and visual reasoning, 23 with limited success. Classical approaches to describe shapes through textual descriptions cannot deal efficiently with the graphical, visual information that shapes imply, typically losing the geometric formality inherent to shapes that could provide quantitative measures together with current laboratory instrumentation, measurement techniques, or computational methods.…”
