View-Based Dynamic Object Recognition Based on Human Perception

Psychophysical studies have shown that humans actively exploit temporal information such as contiguity of images in object recognition. We have recently developed a recognition system which uses temporal contiguity to learn extensible representations of objects on-line. The system performs well both on real-world and synthetic data and shows robustness under illumination changes. In this paper, we present results which compare the proposed representation against simple image-based representations of the same complexity using Minkowski Minimum Distance classifiers and Support Vector Machine classifiers. Recognition results for all classifiers show large improvements with incorporated temporal information.
