ABSTRACT:
A method of electronically recognizing a three-dimensional object X includes an enrollment phase wherein a three-dimensional digital model of the surface of the object X is stored in a memory. Thereafter, in an access phase, a two-dimensional access image of an unidentified object is acquired by a camera which views the object from a particular direction which is unpredictable. Then, from the stored three-dimensional model, a two-dimensional image of the model is generated as seen from a selectable viewing direction which approximates the particular direction from which the unidentified object is viewed in the access image. Since the selectable viewing direction of the model approximates the direction in which the object is viewed by the camera, a correlation between the access image of the unidentified object and the image that is generated from the model is very high.
