Object Recognition System Design in Computer Vision: a Universal Approach
The first contribution of this paper is architecture of a multipurpose system, which delegates a range of object detection tasks to a classifier, applied in special grid positions of the tested image. The second contribution is Gray Level-Radius Co-occurrence Matrix, which describes local image texture and topology and, unlike common second order statistics methods, is robust to image resolution. The third contribution is a parametrically controlled automatic synthesis of unlimited number of numerical features for classification. The fourth contribution is a method of optimizing parameters C and gamma in LibSVM-based classifier, which is 20-100 times faster than the commonly applied method. The work is essentially experimental, with demonstration of various methods for definition of objects of interest in images and video sequences.
