Abstract
A system and method are provided for learning part-based object models during a learning phase from training images and applying the learned object models to an input image during runtime. The learned part-based object models are augmented by appearance-based models of the objects. The part-based object models correspond to the shapes of the parts of an object. The appearance-based models provide additional appearance cues to the object models for object classification. The approach to learning part-based object models has the capability of learning object models without using viewpoint labels of the objects. The learning is also invariant to scale and in-plane rotation of the objects.
