Abstract

In this paper, a pattern recognition module that makes use of 3-D images of objects is presented. The proposed module takes advantage of both the generalization capability of neural networks and the possibility of manipulating 3-D images to generate views at different poses of the object that is to be recognized. This allows the construction of a robust 3-D object recognition module that can find use in various applications including military, biomedical and mine detection applications. The paper proposes an efficient training procedure and decision making strategy for the suggested neural network. Sample results of testing the module on 3-D images of several objects are also included along with an insightful discussion of the implications of the results.
