ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for classifying an object in an image is disclosed. A depth image is provided. At least one area of the depth image unsatisfactory for object identification are identified. A plurality of two-dimensional projections of surface normals in the depth image is determined without considering the unsatisfactory at least one area. One or more objects are classified based on the plurality of two-dimensional projections of surface normals.
