Generalizing the Active Shape Model by Integrating Structural Knowledge to Recognize Hand Drawn Sketches

Using an Active Shape Structural Model for Biometric Sketch Recognition

“…It enables statistical models to represent structural variability and structural models to represent prior shape knowledge. We have applied ASSM to sketch recognition in [1]. We propose here to apply ASSM in the field of biometrics as a sketch authentication system.…”

“…They do not describe shapes they fit statistically. In our previous work we defined a multi-resolution shape model called Active Shape Structural Model (ASSM) [1,2] and the core biometric processes within biometric authentication systems [5]. ASSM defines a-priori knowledge about the shape both at the structural and the statistical level.…”
