<p>In the illustrative embodiment, the feature extractor includes circuitry for receiving and transforming a time variant data signal into a multi-resolution data signal. The multi-resolution data signal is compared to each of a plurality of object templates. The system then generates a feature vector based on a correlation of the multi-resolution data signal to one of the object templates. The multi-resolution feature extraction method employs object templates formed by transforming time variant image data for each of a plurality of objects into a respective multi-resolution template and averaging all templates for each respective object. The method includes steps for transforming an incoming time variant data signal into a multi-resolution data signal, comparing the multi-resolution data signal to each of the object templates, and generating a feature vector when the multi-resolution data signal correlates to one of the object templates. In a more specific implementation, the method further includes the steps of calculating a confusion matrix (CM), classifying the feature vectors as one of the objects to thereby produce classified objects responsive to the CM, and selecting a target from the classified objects. A multi-resolution feature extractor according to the present invention employs object templates formed by transforming time variant image data for each of a plurality of objects into a respective multi-resolution template and averaging all templates for each respective object to thereby generate object templates.</p> |
