In this paper, we propose a novel two step shape classification approach consisting of a description and a discrimination phase. In the description phase, curvature features are extracted from the shape and are utilized to build a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The HMM provides a robust Maximum Likelihood (ML) description of the shape. In the discrimination phase, a weighted likelihood discriminant function is formulated, which weights the likelihoods of curvature at individual points of shape to minimize the classification error. The weighting scheme emulates feature selection procedure in which features important for classification are selected. A Generalized Probabilistic Descent (GPD) method based method for estimation of the weights is proposed. To demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method, we present classification results achieved for fighter planes in terms of classification accuracy and discriminant functions.

The "enhanced spectrum" of an image g[·] is a fonction h[·] of wavenumber u obtained as follows. A reflection operation Q[·] is applied to g[·];the power spectral density | G[u]| 2 of Q[g[·]] is converted to the Log scale and averaged over a suitable arc;the function s[·] of u alone is thus obtained, from which a known function, the "model" m[u], is subtracted: this yields h[u]· Models m(p)[·] used herewith have a roll-off like -10Log10[up]. As a consequence spectrum enhancement is a non-linear image filter which is shown to include partial spatial differentiation of Q[g[·]] of suitable order. The function h[·] emphasizes deviations of s[·] from the prescribed behaviour m (P)W[·]. The enhanced spectrum is used herewith as the morphological descriptor of the image after polynomial interpolation. Multivariate statistical analysis of enhanced spectra by means of principal components analysis is applied with the objective, of maximizing discrimination between classes of images. Recent applications to materials science, cell biology and environmental monitoring are reviewed.
