Abstract
A system and method for training multiple pattern recognition and registration models commences with a first pattern model. The model is trained from multiple images. Composite models can be used to improve robustness or model small differences in appearance of a target region. Composite models combine data from noisy training images showing instances of underlying patterns to build a single model. A pattern recognition and registration model is generated that spans the entire range of appearances of the target pattern in the set of training images. The set of pattern models can be implemented as either separate instances of pattern finding models or as a pattern multi-model. The underlying models can be standard pattern finding models or pattern finding composite models, or a combination of both.
