We address the problem of recognizing 2-D shapes in images via multi-class classifications. Our approach has three key elements. First, a signed distance transform is introduced to represent a shape more informatively. Second, a filter bank is generated such that its filters can capture multiple-scale local and global features between two shapes of different classes. We then apply boosting to combine useful filters to construct discriminant classifiers. Third, in implementing our system, a new classification architecture is developed to accomplish multi-class recognition. To examine the claimed efficiencies, we consider an example of document recognition by pinpointing the strengths of our method through experimental results and comparisons.
