Recognition of Partially Occluded Objects through Fuzzy Invariant Indexing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new approach to the recognition of partially occluded objects employing fuzzy invariant values and fuzzy if-then-rules, called fuzzy invariant indexing (FII). Compared with traditional invariant indexing, the fuzzy method proposed here offers the following advantages: firstly, as shown in the experimental results of this paper, the recognition quality may be considerably increased in the case of similar objects; secondly, the ability is provided to control the recognition process during the hypothesis evaluation stage, and thirdly, a FII-based recognition system can be simply extended in a closed form, i.e. new attributes may be added to the fuzzy classification rules resulting in only minor changes to the original structure of the system. We demonstrate the recognition performance of the new FIItechnique for partially occluded (quasi-)planar objects in real image scenes taken from different camera viewpoints and conclude the paper with a discussion of the potential of the method and directions of possible future research.

Fuzzy Invariant Indexing: A General Indexing Scheme for Occluded Object Recognition
In this paper we present a general indexing scheme for model-based occluded object recognition. This new technique is called fuzzy invariant indexing (FII). It is based on fuzzy if-then-classification rules and fuzzified invariant object descriptions, which can be either invariant values or invariant signatures. We describe the framework of the method and its general applicability: if invariant...
متن کاملCanonical Frames for Planar Object Recognition
We present a canonical frame construction for determining pro-jectively invariant indexing functions for non-algebraic smooth plane curves. These invariants are semi-local rather than global, which promotes tolerance to occlusion. Two applications are demonstrated. Firstly, we report preliminary work on building a model based recognition system for planar objects. We demonstrate that the invari...
متن کاملRecognition of partially occluded objects using neural network based indexing
In this paper, a new neural network based indexing scheme has been proposed for recognition of planar shapes. Local contour segment-based-invariants have been used for indexing. Object contours have been obtained using a new algorithm which combines advantages of region growing and edge detection. Neighbourhood constraints have been applied on the results of indexing for combining hypotheses ge...
متن کاملPolygonal shape description for recognition of partially occluded objects
We introduce a new method for the recognition of partially occluded objects represented only by their contours. Object description, which stems from the inflection point detection, approximates the object by polygon and is affine invariant. The matching algorithm is simple and easy to implement. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملRecognition of Partially Occluded Objects Using B-tree Index Structure: An Efficient and Robust Approach
This paper presents a novel method for recognizing partially occluded objects. The proposed method uses corner points and their spatial relationship perceived through the application of Triangular Spatial Relationship (TSR) [5] by considering three successive corner points at a time. The perceived TSR among corner points are used to create a model object-base using B-tree, an efficient multilev...
