Abstract
This paper defines a multiple-resolution representation for shape. The representation is constructed by detecting peaks and ridges in the Difference of Low-Pass (DOLP) transform. Descriptions of shape which are encoded in this representation may be matched efficiently despite changes in size, orientation, or position.
