Abstract

An appearance based object detection system is presented, whose main goal is the detection of free-form objects in non structured environments. A multichannel and multiscale approach is used. Two different feature extraction methods are combined to generate a model for each object: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization with Sparsity Constraints (NMFSC). An object-dependant adjustment of channel weighting allows to detect different objects with high accuracy. The detection threshold is also automatically adjusted depending on the object to be detected.
