Abstract

This paper describes a method for recognizing real three-dimensional objects in non-controlled backgrounds using independent component analysis to eliminate redundant image information present in each object image. The proposed method is a two-step process that allows a coarse color-based detection and an exact localization using shape information. The paper describes an efficient implementation, making this approach suitable for real-time applications.
