It's addressed to persons and organizations which have interest to shape analysis (recognition) in frame of image, picture, drawing, scheme, map, graph, trace and signal interpretation in general.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is proposed for further joint advancement and practical adaption:

THE PROCEDURAL SEQUENCE FOR THE SEGMENTATION - APPROXIMATION AND INTEGRAL MATCHING OF THE LINE FORMED (CONTOUR) SHAPES.

That is based on:

- the interference defended "gentle extracting" approximation of line-like graphic patterns;

- the universal - "soft" subdivision of such patterns into separate - uniform segments;

- the fast integral (pose) identification of geometric shapes via "parametrical unison".

In whole, that provides the efficient manner for recognition afarbitrary formed (curvilinear) figures with respect to their samples in case when one figure may partially overlap another.

It may be used in computer, industrial, robot vision, - aerospace observation, navigation, object-target detection,- medical-biological microscopy, X-ray photography, nuclear track processing, drawings recognition, document analysis and others.

The developed procedure sequence has been applied to automatic visual pose identification of plate objects huddled on a surface. In future the announced method basis may be extended to solve the similar problems for 3D shapes. Besides the proposed concepts extend idea "arsenal" of shape analysis in general. The most complete description of this work were given in [1]. There is the brief review [2].

The work was approved by spesialists of Moscow State University, Institute of Applied Mathematics, Institute of Transmission Information Problems, Institute of Control Problems, Energy Institute and other organizations.

But the fatal collapse of the former USSR doesn't make it possible to continue and complete the work for practical use. First of all, it is needed to adapt the developed procedures into any modern program system. In addition technique of the computations may be essentially improved. This is start direction for further elaboration.

Have you interest and possibility to support and advance of the represented work? Please send your considerations and propositions.
