Codes for our PRL2016 paper: "Shape Recognition by Bag of Skeleton-associated Contour Parts". [paper]

1. Dataset: we use Animal Dataset [paper] for evaluating. The dataset contains 2000 images, which are divided into 20 classes. We extend the dataset by adding the corresponding skeleton-associated contour maps. Please [download] it and extract it to the "data/" directory for training and testing.

2. Tools: you might download the pdollar's toolbox [download] and the liblinear [download], and put them into the "include/" directory.

3. Interface: please see exp_animal.m

For more technical details please refer to our paper.

If you find bugs or have questions, please contact me. Glad to hear from you.
