Abstract
Techniques for a shape descriptor used for object recognition are described. Tokens of an object in digital image data are captured, where tokens can be edges, interest points or even parts. Geometric configurations of the tokens are captured by describing portions of the shape of the object. The shape of such configurations is finely quantized and each configuration from the image is assigned to a quantization bin. Objects are recognized by utilizing a number of quantization bins as features. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
