The matching and retrieval of 2D shapes is an important challenge in computer vision. A large number of shape similarity approaches have been developed, with the main focus being the comparison or matching of pairs of shapes. In these approaches, other shapes do not influence the similarity measure of a given pair of shapes. In the proposed approach, other shapes do influence the similarity measure of each pair of shapes, and we show that this influence is beneficial even in the unsupervised setting (without any prior knowledge of shape classes). The influence of other shapes is propagated as a diffusion process on a graph formed by a given set of shapes. However, the classical diffusion process does not perform well in shape space for two reasons: it is unstable in the presence of noise and the underlying local geometry is sparse. We introduce a locally constrained diffusion process which is more stable even if noise is present, and we densify the shape space by adding synthetic points we call 'ghost points'. We present experimental results that demonstrate very significant improvements over state-of-the-art shape matching algorithms. On the MPEG-7 data set, we obtained a bull's-eye retrieval score of 93.32%, which is the highest score ever reported in the literature.
