Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/GB93/00179 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 9, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 9, 1994 PCT Filed Jan. 28, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/15475 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 5, 1993A method of forming a template of an image of an object includes the steps of: detecting occurrences of at least one feature type within the image which meet a respective criterion; for each such occurrence, determining a feature position which is a point within the image at which the occurrence of the feature type is to be considered as being located; and constructing a structural mesh of links between the feature positions. A method is also disclosed of forming a template derived from a plurality of templates formed from respective images of different members of the class of objects and combining the templates to form a generalized template. In particular the templates are combined using a genetic algorithm. The invention provides a method of forming a template from one or more images which does not rely on a priori assumptions about the salient features of the object for which a template is to be obtained.
