ABSTRACT:
A system and a method are disclosed for clustering images of objects seen from different viewpoints. That is, given an unlabelled set of images of n objects, an unsupervised algorithm groups the images into N disjoint subsets such that each subset only contains images of a single object. The clustering method makes use of a broad geometric framework that exploits the interplay between the geometry of appearance manifolds and the symmetry of the 2D affine group.
