OBJECT DETECTION USING PICTORIAL STRUCTURE OF GABOR TEMPLATE

Abstract

Object detection methods are divided into two main branches: In the global approach one extracts low level features and uses machine learning techniques. In the part-based approach one uses deformable templates. We present a Hybrid approach for constructing a deformable template for modeling and detection. Initially one applies Gabor wavelet filters to extract low level features and constructs graphs which resemble shock graphs. A minimum spanning tree (MST) is extracted and is called the pictorial graph. It is used for matching. The pictorial graph is suitable for preserving the visual appearance of the shape of the object and for accommodating shape variances. In this hybrid approach we maintain the generality of the global and the efficiency of part-based approaches. Our algorithm has been applied to a set of test cases and the result shows improved performance as compared to standard object detection methods that do not rely on human intervention.
