Abstract
A system, method and program product for camera-based object analyses including object recognition, object detection, and/or object categorization. An exemplary embodiment of the computerized method for analyzing objects in images obtained from a camera system includes receiving image(s) having pixels from the camera system; calculating a pool of features for each pixel; then deriving either a pool of radial moment of features from the pool of features and a geometric center of the image(s) or a pool of central moments of features from the pool of features; then calculating a normalized descriptor, based on an area of the image(s) and either of the derived pool of moments of features; and then based on the normalized descriptor, a computer then either recognizes, detects, and/or categorizes an object(s) in the image(s).
