I know that the return value of the matchShapes() function is different depending of the orientation of the contour. But I recognized that a twisted contour gets a smaller return value than a not twisted. How can this be?

Here there are two methods you can do

Method1

1-convert contour1 to image using drawContour drawcontours

2-convert contour2 to image using drawContour

3-use find keypoints and feature matching , this method is rotation invariant you can follow the following example Feature Matching with FLANN

Method 2

1-You can extract features for the two contours using rotation invaraint feature such as HuMoments HuMoments

2-Compare the two moments if the distance is small the two objects are similar

matchShapes() is actually using the L2 distance of Hu moments (under the hood)

Thank you very much I tried Method 2 and it worked fine for my problem :-)
