Abstract:

The development of traditional object detection systems usually involves a time consuming investigation of good preprocessing and filtering methods and a hand-crafting of different programs for the extraction and selection of important image features in different problem domains. To avoid these problems, this thesis describes a domain independent approach to multiple class, translation and rotation invariant object detection problems without any preprocessing, segmentation and specific feature extraction. The approach is based on learning/adaptive methods -- neural networks, genetic algorithms and genetic programming. Rather than using specific image features, raw image pixel values or pixel statistics are used as inputs to the learning/adaptive systems. Six object detection methods...
