Object matching with hierarchical skeletons

Highlights:

• It represents the coarse- and fine-grained shape topological and geometrical features.

• It improves the stability of skeleton pruning without human interaction.

• It considers both global and fine shape properties by different potential functions.

• It achieves a better performance than most existing methods on six datasets.

• Experiments attest our method a better performance than most related approaches.

• We achieve a 99.21% bulls-eye score on the MPEG7 shape dataset.
