Method and device for processing and for searching for an object by signals corresponding to images
First Claim
1. A method of representing an object appearing in an image or a sequence of images, by processing signals corresponding to the image, the method comprising deriving a plurality of co-ordinate values for peaks of the outline of the object in curvature scale space on the basis of the signals and applying a transformation to said co-ordinate values to arrive at a representation of the outline, wherein said transformation is in the form of z′
- =a pow(z,b)+c, where a, b and c are constants and pow (z,b) denotes z to the power b.
