Abstract: A novel approach for object segmentation and recognition is presented. The aim of this approach is to select a proper shape model from a model set to guide object segmentation. The process of model selection, which is based on the shape similarity between the target object and shape models, is then used for object recognitions. The integrated process of object segmentation and recognition is formulated as a constrained contour energy minimisation problem. The solution derived from this formulation produces an integrated searching process consisting of two iteratively alternating procedures of contour evolution and shape matching. The process stops at a final contour together with a shape distance measure to an object model for recognition. Successful illustrative results on both segmentation and recognition are reported.
