Abstract

In this paper we present a new approach for the localization and classification of 2-D objects that are situated in heterogeneous background or are partially occluded. We use an appearance-based approach and model the local features derived from wavelet multiresolution analysis by statistical density functions. In addition to the object model we define a new model for the background and a function that assigns the single feature vectors either to the object or to the background. Here, the background is modelled as uniform distribution, therefore we need for all possible backgrounds only one density function. Experimental results show that this model is well suited for this recognition task.
