Abstract

The appearance-based approaches to vision problems have recently received a renewed attention in the vision community due to their ability to deal with combined effects of shape, reflectance properties, pose in the scene, and illumination conditions. Besides, appearance-based representations can be acquired through an automatic learning phase which is not the case with traditional shape representations. The approach has led to a variety of successful applications, e. g., visual positioning and tracking of robot manipulators, visual inspection, and human face recognition. In this paper we will review the basic methods for appearance-based object recognition. We will also identify the major limitations of the standard approach and present algorithms how these limitations can be alleviated leading to an object recognition system which is applicable in real world situations.
