Abstract

A new classifier neural network is described for distortion-invariant multi-class pattern recognition. Its input training data in different classes are described by a feature space. As a distortion parameter (such as aspect view) of a training set object is varied, an ordered training set is produced. This ordered training set describes the object as a trajectory in feature space, with different points along the trajectory corresponding to different aspect views. Different object classes are described by different trajectories. Classification involves calculation of the distance from an input feature space point to the nearest trajectory (this denotes the object class) and the position of the nearest point along that trajectory (this denotes the pose of the object). Comparison to other neural networks and other classifiers show that this feature space trajectory neural network yields better classification performance and can reject non-object data. The FST classifier performs well with different numbers of training images and hidden layer neurons and also generalizes better than other classifiers.
