abstract = {We propose a Modified Fourier Descriptor and a new
distance metric for describing and comparing closed planar curves. Our
method accounts for the effects of spatial discretization of shapes, an
issue seldom mentioned, much less addressed in the literature.
The motivating application is shape matching in a content based image
retrieval system. The application requires a compact and reliable shape
representation, and a feature distance measure which can be computed in
real time. Experimental results suggest that our method is a feasible
solution for on-line shape comparisons in such a system.},
