Shape identification is a fundamental property of an object and is an important low level feature to human perception. Shape analysis is widely applied in image registration, segmentation, classification and various other computer vision applications like pattern recognition, medical image diagnostics, integral geometry etc. This paper describes a new shape descriptor using chain- encoding methods, where a shape boundary is represented as a list of vectors of line segments. This is a very compact and efficient method of shape representation which could be exploited for shape compression, classification, segmentation and shape matching techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
