ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for classifying objects using a hierarchical object classification scheme. The hierarchical object classification scheme provides candidate classes with an increasing degree of specificity as the hierarchy is traversed from the root node to the leaf nodes. Each node in the hierarchy has an associated classifier, such as a Radial Basis Function classifier, that determines a probability that an object is a member of the class associated with the node. The nodes of the hierarchical tree are individually trained by any learning technique, such as the exemplary Radial Basis Function Network, that uses appearance-based information of the objects under consideration to classify objects. A disclosed recognition scheme uses a decision criterion based upon recognition error to classify objects.
