## Detailed Description

Implementation of the Shape Context descriptor and matching algorithm.

proposed by Belongie et al. in "Shape Matching and Object Recognition Using Shape Contexts" (PAMI 2002). This implementation is packaged in a generic scheme, in order to allow you the implementation of the common variations of the original pipeline.
