            Abstract : 
A framework for mapping a polar-like coordinate system to a non-rigid shape is presented. Using a graph pyramid, a binary shape is decomposed into connected parts, based on its structure as captured by the eccentricity transform. The decomposition is used to derive domains for the angular like coordinate. A closest point search is employed to find point correspondences.
