Irregular Shape Symmetry Analysis: Theory and Application to Quantitative Galaxy Classification

By Qi Guo, Falei Guo, and Jiaqing Shao

Featured article This paper presents a set of imperfectly symmetric measures based on a series of geometric transformation operations for quantitatively measuring the "amount" of symmetry of arbitrary shapes. The definitions of both bilateral symmetricity and rotational symmetricity give new insight into analyzing the geometrical property of a shape and enable characterizing arbitrary shapes in a new way. We developed a set of criteria for quantitative galaxy classification using our proposed irregular shape symmetry measures...
