A new method dealing with recognition of partially occluded and affine distortion objects is presented. The method is designed for objects with smooth curved boundary. It divides an object into affine-invariant parts based on the feature point. And a new approach for matching each part is presented in this paper. Robust Hausdorff distance (RHD) is introduced to measure the similarity between feature points set of model and that of target. In terms of the new RHD, the optimal affine transform can be estimated. And then the sub-curve match pairs are calculated based on the optimal affine transformation. The experimental results show proposed algorithm are capable of coping with partial occlusion and affine transformation.
