Unified detection of skewed rotation, reflection and translation symmetries from affine invariant contour features

作者:

Highlights:

• A unified framework is proposed for detecting different symmetries on real-world images.

• Affine invariant contour matching is used to find correspondence under skewed imaging.

• A sign change criterion is proposed to classify matching pairs for different symmetries.

• Novel schemes such as that based on short line segments are proposed for symmetry voting.

• Different symmetries are detected simultaneously or separately with desired performance.
