SymPaD is a probability vector associated with a given image pixel and represents the attachment of the pixel to a previously designed shape repertoire. As such the approach is model-driven. The SymPad descriptor is illumination and rotation invariant, and extremely flexible on extending the repertoire with any parametrically generated geometrical shapes and any desired additional transformation types.
