We analyze two approaches to clustering 2D shapes representing cross-sections of rotationally symmetrical objects. These approaches are based on two ways of shape representation - contours and silhouettes - and a number of similarity measures which are based on a combination of Procrustes analysis (PA) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) as well as on binary matrix analysis. The comparison of efficiency of the proposed approaches is performed on datasets of archaeological ceramic vessels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
