摘要：A novel bag-of-shapes descriptor constructed using shape association is presented in this paper. We believe that shape association has significant impact in constructing better shape representation of object, for the purpose of object recognition. In our proposed model, shape association is represented in the set of representative prototypes, which is generated through K-medoids clustering based on association likelihoods. The association likelihood is obtained through pairwise distance computation using Needleman-Wunsch algorithm, as the shape is represented in sequence of code of Freeman Chain Code. We evaluate our method on a set of 32 fruit subcategories captured in multi viewpoint. We show that our approach can reliably classify the shape of multi-class fruit with average accuracy of 82.96 % using nearest neighbor classifier.
