Numerous well-established shape recognition approaches for handling variance of image transformations and strokes variations in free-hand digital sketching environment but none has satisfactorily deal with object features yet. Complexity in the computation measure, expensive in computation time, requires large training data set and extensive training is not practical, especially in sketching recognition. In contrast, methods for similarity measurement such as Jaccard distance, Mahalanobis distance and others are commonly used in recognition tasks offer a simple computation, not require a large training data set and can handle variances of image transformations and strokes variations. Therefore, we proposed a shape recognition algorithm using similarity measurement combining Jaccard and Mahalanobis distance is used to measure the similarity between geometry shape sketches. Two major pre processing procedures involved feature extraction and edges perfection were performed for shape normalization and beautification. The new combined algorithm also implements edges separation and masking technique to improve similarity measurement and reduce the amount of testing data set used. Results show that the combination of Jaccard and Mahalanobis distance increase similarity percentages from 18% to 66%, thus accrued an improvement of 48% differences.
