A method and apparatus for identifying a target object. A group of objects is identified in an image. The group of objects provides a context for identifying the target object in the image. The target object is searched for in the image using the context provided by the group of objects.

Context-based target recognition

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for tracking objects. A number of objects is detected in an image to form a number of detected objects. A number of previously identified objects is searched for in the image using a number of signatures for the number of previously identified objects. A number of tracks for the objects is updated using the number of detected objects and a number of reidentified objects. The number of reidentified objects is from searching for the number of previously identified objects.

Object tracking system

A method and apparatus for processing images. Clusters of first features identified in a first image are identified. Each cluster in the clusters comprises a first group of features from the first features. A transformation for registering each cluster in the clusters with a corresponding cluster comprising a second group of features from second features identified in a second image is identified using an initial correspondence between the first features in the first image and the second features in the second image. A set of clusters from the clusters of the first features is identified using the transformation identified for each cluster. A final transformation for registering the first image with the second image is identified using the set of clusters.
