  Image recognition is the need of the hour. In order to be able to recognize
an image, it is of immense importance that the image should be distinguishable
from the background. In the present work, an approach is presented for
automatic detection and recognition of regular 2D shapes in low noise
environments. The work has a large number of direct applications in the real
world. The algorithm proposed is based on locating the edges and thus, in turn
calculating the area of the object helps in identification of a specified
shape. The results were simulated using MATLAB tool are encouraging and
validate the proposed algorithm.
