REAL-TIME ROTATION, SHIFT, SCALE AND SKEW VISUAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM

摘要

A method of rapidly identifying an object (3, 5) by a battery-powered apparatus (1) using an artificial neural network (14). An image (6) of the object (3, 5) is captured by an image capturing unit (8). The captured image (6) is then processed by an image processing unit (12) to be in a format that the artificial neural network (14) is able to process. The processed captured image is projected onto the artificial neural network which produces a Time Series Signature (TSS) pattern. A pattern identification unit (16) then identifies the object (3, 5) based on the generated TSS pattern.
