Earlier: PRIP77(191-197). Matching, Contours. Relaxation. Match outlines of islands extracted from a map. This program used a spring template description of shapes (outlines or portions of outlines) and a relaxation based search procedure to find the best match. Complete boundaries from a geographic data-base were used to generate the models. Test templates were composed of portions of similar outlines. Both the model and template were formed from a line segment representation of the contour using a given threshold on the curvature of the underlying boundary curve. These curves are then represented by the sequence of angles and the segments between adjacent angles. Each angle forms a sub-template with pairs of these connected by springs. A local match of a pair of template elements (angles) with a pair of model elements results in tension in the spring joining the template elements. The goal is to find the assignment that minimizes the tension in the springs. To find this minimum, a discrete relaxation procedure is used. First an association graph is constructed where a node corresponds to a single template elements to model element pairing with a weight determined by the local evaluation function (spring tension). The links between nodes correspond to pairs of assignments and are included only if the spring tension caused by the assignments is low enough. (The magnitude of the threshold controls how many possible assignments are tried.) Nodes are pruned if the total neighborhood tension is too large. A second edge (arc) filtering procedure removes the links if the global transform generated from the match for each of the nodes are different. Each of these discrete relaxation operations differs from other discrete methods in that links or nodes only must be adequately consistent, not absolutely consistent. These steps produce a pruned association graph with (possibly) several disjoint subgraphs. Each subgraph corresponds to one global transform to align the template with the model object. The best match is determined by evaluating the several final matches using the spring template evaluation function. This matching procedure is invariant to rotation and translation since the angle between segments is the only direction used. The use of approximate consistency allows for small scale changes or distortions. BibRef

These parts can have extra pieces (sprues) and can be overlapping, thus there is a need to match when there are few actual matching segments. The procedure works by first finding a few matches using privileged segments (usually long segments). These starting matches are used to generate a transformation from model to image. The hypothesis is evaluated by finding other segments that match using position along the contour. There are some good things, but it can be made simpler. BibRef

And: ICPR84(990-992). Closed contours provide many constraints on the possible matches. This paper uses a simple idea to match contours of single objects with collections of these objects that include many occlusions and overlaps. Initial matches are found using only the angle between segments as the feature. Several (3) consecutive matching angles indicate a possible match and give a transformation (rotation and translation) that would align the contour model contour with at least part of the image contour. These possible matches are checked by transforming the model contour and checking for overlaps of the line segments representing the contour in a manner much like the work of Clark(
See also Matching of Natural Terrain Scenes. ) or Medioni (
