METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOCATING AND IDENTIFYING AN OBJECT OF INTEREST IN A COMPLEX IMAGE

摘要

A method of location and identification of an object of interest in a complex image frame involves defining the object of interest as a reference template. The ranks of grey shades in the complex image frame and reference template are computed (17). The rank of grey shades in the reference template are compared with the ranks of grey shades of the complex image (18), thereby determining closeness of fit. A threshold for detection is set by utilizing selected decision data (19).
