Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of pose invariant Generic Object Recognition by modeling the perceptual capability of human beings. We propose a novel framework using a combination of appearance and shape cues to recognize the object class and viewpoint (axis of rotation) as well as determine its pose (angle of view). The appearance model of the object from multiple viewpoints is captured using Linear Subspace Analysis techniques and is used to reduce the search space to a few rank-ordered candidates. We have used a decision-fusion based combination of 2D PCA and ICA to integrate the complementary information of classifiers and improve recognition accuracy. For matching based on shape features, we propose the use of distance transform based correlation. A decision fusion using ‘Sum Rule' of 2D PCA and ICA subspace classifiers, and distance transform based correlation is then used to verify the correct object class and determine its viewpoint and pose. Experiments were conducted on COIL-100 and IGOIL (IITM Generic Object Image Library) databases which contain objects with complex appearance and shape characteristics. IGOIL database was captured to analyze the appearance manifolds along two orthogonal axes of rotation.
