Persistence Betty numbers, which are the rank of the persistent homology, are a generalized version of the size theory widely known as a descriptor for shape analysis. They show robustness to both perturbations of the topological space that represents the object, and perturbations of the function that measures the shape properties of the object. In this paper, we present a shape matching algorithm which is based on the use of persistence Betty numbers. Experimental tests are performed with Kimia dataset to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
