Abstract
The Hough transform and their extensions can not adequately handle sha pes characterized by the fact that different instances of the same sha pe are similar, but not identical. We present an extension to recogniz e natural shapes. It is based on the principle that natural shapes can be represented by two extremes: the inner extreme and the outer extre me.
