In this paper, we propose a new descriptor and distance computation for coping with the problem of symbol recognition in the domain of Graphical Document Image Analysis. The proposed D-Shape descriptor encodes the arrangement information of object parts in a circular structure, allowing different levels of distortion. The classification is performed using a cyclic Dynamic Time Warping based method, allowing distortions and rotation. The methodology has been validated on different data sets, showing very high recognition rates.", optnote="DAG; HUPBA; MILAB", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1421), last updated on Thu, 18 Jan 2018 11:43:27 +0100", isbn="978-1-4244-7542-1", issn="1051-4651", doi="10.1109/ICPR.2010.482", opturl="http://www.icpr2010.org/ICPR10_ContentListWeb_2.html" }
