Improving shape correspondences using salient points

Quality of a shape matching technique is correlated to the quality of contour point correspondences obtained. Improving correspondences hence can be useful for better shape matching. In this paper we present a framework that can find salient points correspondences along the contour.The results demonstrate significant improvement for occlusion shapes, compared with inner distance.
