Abstract

In this paper we present a novel approach to multi---view object recognition based on kernel methods with constraints. Differently from many previous approaches, we describe a system that is able to exploit a set of views of an input object to recognize it. Views are acquired by cameras located around the object and each view is modeled by a specific classifier. The relationships among different views are formulated as constraints that are exploited by a sort of collaborative learning process. The proposed approach applies the constraints on unlabeled data in a semi---supervised framework. The results collected on the COIL benchmark show that constraint based learning can improve the quality of the recognition system and of each single classifier, both on the original and noisy data, and it can increase the invariance with respect to object orientation.
