IRJET - Object Detection using Hausdorff Distance

This document proposes using Hausdorff distance for object detection as it can better handle noise compared to other methods like Euclidean distance. The document discusses preprocessing images using Gaussian filtering for noise cancellation. It then represents shapes as point sets for feature extraction before using Hausdorff distance to match shapes between reference and test images for object recognition. Encouraging results were obtained when testing on MNIST, COIL and private handwritten digit datasets.
