Abstract

Many modern computer vision systems are built by chaining together standard vision procedures, often in graphical programming environments such as Khoros, CVIPtools or IUE. Typically, these procedures are selected and sequenced by an ad-hoc combination of programmer's intuition and trial-and-error. This paper presents a theoretically sound method for constructing object recognition strategies by casting object recognition as a Markov Decision Problem (MDP). The result is a system called ADORE (Adaptive Object Recognition) that automatically learns object recognition control policies from training data. Experimental results are presented in which ADORE is trained to recognize five types of houses in aerial images, and where its performance can be (and is) compared to optimal.
