Abstract

SANCHEZ TORRES, Germán  and  RODRIGUEZ GARCIA, Manuel E. Cattle marks similarity measure by shape distributions. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.25, pp.177-189. ISSN 1692-3324.

This paper reports the investigation results addressed to design of a digital image processing method for automate the registration and control process of livestock marks according to Colombian regulations livestock sector. It allows automate the process of search and comparison required for livestock mark uniqueness assurance on a computer assisted system. First, a histogram is generated based on statistical distribution of geometrical information, which permit to detect similarities between registered marks by means Minkowski-based metric. The results show that the method allows discriminating between images using a digital signature from a Shape Distribution the geometric structure reducing ambiguity and ensuring the uniqueness of registered marks. We show the results and make an analysis of system application.

Keywords : Process automation; shape distribution; Hot-Iron; 2d image similarity.
