Abstract
The invention is a method of using Wavelet Transformation and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) systems for automatic detecting and classifying objects. To train the system in object recognition different images, which usually contain desired objects alongside other objects are used. These objects may appear at different angles. Different characteristics regarding the objects are extracted from the images and stored in a data bank. The system then determines the extent to which each inserted characteristic will be useful in future recognition and determines its relative weight. After the initial insertion of data, the operator tests the system with a set of new images, some of which contain the class objects and some of which contain similar and/or dissimilar objects of different classification. The system learns from the images containing similar objects of different classes as well as from the images containing the class objects, since each specific class characteristic needs to be set apart from other class characteristic. The system may be tested and trained again and again until the operator is satisfied with the system's success rate of object recognition and classification.
