Contour Mapping Measure

  • The Contour Mapping (CM) measure is a measure of discrepancy between two contours.
  • It is based upon a matching between all points on the two given boundaries. The matching respects the arc-length ordering of the points.

  • Here is a video comparing CM with few other measures mentioned in the paper when used in the shape approximation algorithm to minimize error between a shape hypothesis and a ground truth reference: optim.avi
