A Dynamic Programming based elastic matching method called the Branched Reference Rubber Matching was investigated. As in Rubber String Matching, the reference pattern is represented as a sequence of direction specified vectors and the input pattern as two dimensional dot pattern. In order to improve the coping of topological variations in input pattern, the reference patterns allow partial pattern alternatives and misses. Effect on the recognition time is almost negligible. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
