Abstract:

We present an object recognition system that identifies objects by their silhouette from single views of a greyscale camera. The centroidal profile describing the object boundary is matched with boundaries from a model base using a dynamic programming technique. Objects are modelled by a multi-view representation which can either be learned from a set of images or generated from a geometric model. Experiments with non-rigid and polyhedral objects show the validity of this approach. 1. INTRODUCTION Vision-based object recognition is a field of research that has brought forth many systems that are able to recognise objects from single views of greyscale cameras, yet a fast recognition of a large number of free-form, perhaps even generic object classes in complex scenes with occlusion still seems to be a goal impossible to realise. The reason why we want to present another system that is clearly limited to a certain field of application is that we believe that the synthesis of various ...
