Advances in Object Recognition Systems
An invariant object recognition system needs to be able to recognise the object under any usual a priori defined distortions such as translation, scaling and in‐plane and out‐ of‐plane rotation. Ideally, the system should be able to recognise (detect and classify) any complex scene of objects even within background clutter noise. This problem is a very complex and difficult one
