A novel fast algorithm for shape matching using statistical features of shape contexts is presented. By pruning the candidate shapes using the moment-based statistical features of shape contexts, the required number of matching processes is dramatically reduced with negligible performance degradation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm reduces the pruning time up to 1/(r·n) compared with the conventional RSC algorithm while maintaining a similar or better performance, where n is the number of sampled points of a shape and r is the number of randomly selected representative shape contexts for the query shape.
