OBJECT RECOGNITION USING MULTIPLE THRESHOLDING AND LOCAL BINARY SHAPE FEATURES

Abstract

Traditionally, image thresholding is applied to segmentation - allowing foreground objects to be segemented. However, selection of thresholds in such schemes can prove difficult. We propose a solution by applying multiple thresholds. The task of object recognition then becomes that of matching binary objects, for which we present a new method based on local shape features. We embed our recognition method in a system which reduces the computational increase caused by using multiple thresholding. Experimental results show our method and system work well despite only using a single example of each object class for matching.
