Abstract

See full text

A specific item within an item class is identified by defining sets of descriptor data from a training library. The collected descriptor data is grouped and organized into a hierarchical tree, where each leaf node is defined by relations between corresponding parts of the descriptor data. Registrable sets of descriptor data are then identified from a collection of registrable samples. The registrable sets of descriptors are sorted into the hierarchical tree. When an input sample to be identified is received, a test set of descriptor data is generated from the input sample. The test set is then sorted into the hierarchical tree. Each leaf node that receives a part of the test set provides a vote for the registered samples it contains. The registered sample with the most votes is deemed a match for the input sample.
