Direct Aspect-Based 3D Object Recognition
In this paper a method for 3-D object recognition based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) is proposed. Given a set of points which belong to either of two classes, a SVM finds the hyperplane that leaves the largest possible fraction of points of the same class on the same side, while maximizing the distance of the closest point. Recognition with SVMs does not require feature extraction and can be performed directly on images regarded as points of an N-dimensional object space. The potential of the proposed method is illustrated on a database of 7200 images of 100 different objects. The excellent recognition rates achieved in all the performed experiments indicate that the method is well-suited for aspect-based recognition.
