In the problem of specifying a well-defined wavelet description of a planar closed curve,
defining a unique start point on the curve is crucial for wavelet representation. In this paper, a …

… wavelet transform, we develop a hierarchical planar curve descriptor which decomposes a
curve … It is shown that the wavelet descriptor can be computed effectively and has many nice …

… the discrete periodized wavelet transform (DPWT) was proposed [ 1,2]. A planar curve
converted to a 1-D signal and represented by this method is called the wavelet descriptor (WD). …

… descriptor of planar shapes based on periodized wavelet … on the Discrete Wavelet Transform.
It was shown that shapes … As test images, we used a set of synthetic planar curves (see Fig …

… The inherent uniqueness property of the 1-D DPWT and the application for planar curve
representation are described in Section III. By considering the periodicity of shape, the …
