ABSTRACT:
An object identification method and apparatus determines within the boundary of an object to be identified points corresponding to abrupt changes in the profile of the object. Each segment of the boundary between adjacent points is identified with primitive element data and distance map data. These data associated with each segment are collated with similar type data associated with the boundaries of reference objects and the object is identified as the reference object having the highest coincidence of collation.
