Abstract

The problem of object recognition can be formulated as matching feature sets of different objects. Segmentation errors and scale difference result in many-to-many matching of feature sets, rather than one-to-one. This paper extends a previous algorithm on many-to-many graph matching. The proposed work represents graphs, which correspond to objects, isometrically in the geometric space under the l 1 norm. Empirical evaluation of the algorithm on a set of recognition trails, including a comparison with the previous approach, demonstrates the efficacy of the overall framework. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
