Abstract
A two-dimensional continuous dynamic programming (2DCDP) method is proposed for two-dimensional (2D) spotting recognition of images. Spotting recognition is the simultaneous segmentation and recognition of an image by optimal pixel matching between a reference image and an input image. The proposed method performs optimal pixel-wise image matching and 2D pixel alignment, which are not available in conventional algorithms. Experimental results show that 2DCDP precisely matches the pixels of nonlinearly deformed images.
