AbstractAppropriate methods are necessary to compare and search images automatically without using tags. In this work the retrieval of similar objects in images using the shape information is investigated. For this purpose, Fourier descriptors and the angles from the normal vectors along the boundaries of the objects are used as shape descriptors. Three different features are extracted from the Fourier descriptors to compare the objects. Three different distance functions are proposed to measure the similarity between the objects when the angles of the normal vectors are used as features. Finally, the appropriateness of these methods for the content-based image retrieval is compared at a commonly used database to test such cases.
