摘要
In this paper, a new approach to solve the problem of characterizing 2-D biomedical shapes is introduced. Two-dimensional biomedical contours are described through a 'degrees of smoothing' vector in which each component determines the proper degree of detail for representing each curve part isolating a single structure. A segmentation process is designed based on a clustering procedure applied to vectors of texture measures which are obtained from the graph of curvatures. To solve the problem of characterizing biomedical shapes, a suitable interpolation procedure between the most outstanding perceptual points from the smoothed contours is given.
