1. A method for matching line segments defining a first set of curves and corners of a first image to a second set of curves and corners of a second image, comprising:

  • computing a set of similarity-invariant unary measurements and a similarity function for determining corner guidance;

    defining the similarity function between two curves in a measurement space; and

    matching line segments of the first image to corresponding line segments of the second image wherein the unary measurements are related to a distance from a corner to a curve of the image, and are used to control corner guidance on curve matching.
