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 applying a scaling transformation based on the peak height co-ordinate values, scaling relative to the values for the other co-ordinate to arrive at a representation of the outline.

Abstract
A method of representing an object appearing in a still or video image, by processing signals corresponding to the image, comprises deriving the peak values in CSS space for the object outline and applying a non-linear transformation to said peak values to arrive at a representation of the outline.
