We present a new deformable feature extraction method that adapts to the shape to be described, dealing in this way with the variability introduced in the handwriting domain. It consists in a selection of the regions that best define the shape to be described, followed by the computation of histograms of oriented gradients-based features over these points. Our results significantly outperform other descriptors in the literature for the task of hand-drawn shape recognition and handwritten word retrieval", optnote="DAG", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2326), last updated on Thu, 10 Nov 2016 12:10:05 +0100", issn="1520-5363", doi="10.1109/ICDAR.2013.205", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/AFV2013.pdf:PDF" }
