ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting an object in a digital image including the steps of performing color quantization on a model image including the object and on a search image that potentially includes the object, generating a plurality of search windows, computing spatial-color joint probability functions of each model and search image, where the color co-occurrence edge histogram is chosen to be the spatial-color joint probability function, assessing the similarity of each search image to the model, and designating search windows as containing the target object.
