- Graph matching is a task of pivotal importance in high-level vision since it provides a means by which abstract pictorial descriptions can be matched to one another. Unfortunately, since the process of eliciting graph structures from raw image data is a task of some fragility due to noise and the limited effectiveness of the available segmentation algorithms, graph matching is invariably approached by inexact means (Shapiro & Haralick, 1985), (Sanfeliu & Fu, 1983).
- We set our work in context with a brief review of the related literature. Some of the pioneering work on graph matching was undertaken in the early 1970's by (Barrow & Popplestone, 1971) and by (Fischler & Enschlager, 1973). These two studies provided proof of concept for the use of relational structures in high-level pictorial object recognition.
