This paper gives a novel approach that can be represented an image efficiently with its region and shape information together. To do this, we introduced a region-centralized shape descriptor(RCSD) that the size of region only exists at a center point. RCSD consists of circles with three parameters, the distance and the angle between the tenter points, and the diameter, respectively We verified the RCSD parameters to have an information of shape. We can be proved this by reconstructing the shape from the given parameters and evaluated the difference between the its image and the original one. To get this image, we find the estimated points on the contour from the parameters, and connect them by using an interpolation. According to the evaluation, we obtained 88% performance for real images, and showed that it can be used efficiently for representing the binary images. Also we cu make RCSD parameters to be the normalized patterns to have an invariant of its scale or position, and expand them to improve the quality of the performance.
