The present invention may be embodied in a method, and in a related apparatus, for classifying a feature in an image frame. In the method, an original image frame having an array of pixels is transformed using Gabor-wavelet transformations to generate a transformed image frame. Each pixel of the transformed image is associated with a respective pixel of the original image frame and is represented by a predetermined number of wavelet component values. A pixel of the transformed image frame associated with the feature is selected for analysis. A neural network is provided that has an output and a predetermined number of inputs. Each input of the neural network is associated with a respective wavelet component value of the selected pixel. The neural network classifies the local feature based on the wavelet component values, and indicates a class of the feature at an output of the neural network.
