Curve Evolution
Property 7: A universal level of abstraction
There exists
a universal stage of the discrete curve evolution
(that does not depend on a given shape
and on the amount of the distortions)
at which the distortions are eliminated and the
perceptual appearance is sufficient for robust object recognition.
This is an important feature of our discrete curve evolution method,
since it implies that
neglecting the distortions is achieved automatically,
which is a necessary requirement
for shape representations used in image databases.
