Abstract

Signatures provide a succinct description of certain features of paths in a reparametrization invariant way. We propose a method for classifying shapes based on signatures, and compare it to current approaches based on the SRV transform and dynamic programming.

  1. 1.

    A more thorough analysis of the run time complexities associated with these algorithms has been left out due to space constraints.
