Abstract:

In the realm of flexible automation, viewpoint independent object recognition will become increasingly important. An algorithm for the recognition of plane shapes under pseudo- perspective projection is presented. The method is based on the comparison of features that remain invariant under 2-D affine transformations. In particular, the work presented is part of the wider framework of semi-differential invariants. It was successfully tested on a database containing 42 objects.
