Abstract
Shapes are one of the first details we notice about objects when we see them. This chapter will be devoted to endowing the computer with that capability. Recognizing shapes in images can often be an important step in making decisions. Shapes are defined by the outlines of images. It is therefore logical that the shape recognition is step is usually applied after detecting edges or contours.
