Hi all, I want to compare two contours & find the hausdorff distance between them to find the similarity between the two contours. When I take the template contour on the Right side as a Reference Contour to find the similar contour from the Left hand side I’m getting error because the Scene contour points are translated from the Template contour Actual-Points. Actually I’m taking the contours points directly from the two images. As you can see I cannot crop only the contour region since it affects the neighboring contours. Here I'm not using Template matching since my reference Image may have group of contours so I'm comparing difference between all the points in the two contours to find hausdorff distance.

Should I make an Empty image with Scene image size and make my Template contour slide over the Scene Image to find the match? or else is there any other better approach? Regards, Balaji.R

If you need to match contours than Hu Moments would be the best option. These moments are invariant to scale and rotation and a simple classifier would help you identify the correct match to the moments.

Hm, I think SIFT is not useful for this case because the patterns do not have high textureness and are symmetrical. This will also give problems in the matching stage.

I would prefer template matching combined with a scale space, for example a gaussian pyramid.

Did you try matchShapes() ? but if you're looking for more robust method i suggest reading this paper :http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031320301000401
