Abstract
A method for classifying a known object in a field of view of a digital camera includes developing a plurality of classifier feature vectors, each classifier feature vector associated with one of a plurality of facet viewing angles of the known object. The digital camera captures an image in a field of view including the known object and an image feature vector is generated based upon said captured image. The image feature vector is compared with each of the plurality of classifier feature vectors and one of the plurality of classifier feature vectors that most closely corresponds to the image feature vector is selected. A pose of the known object relative to the digital camera is determined based upon the selected classifier feature vector.
