The Importance of Reasoning about Occlusions during Hypothesis Verification in Object Recognition

Résumé

In this paper we study the limitations of current verification strategies in object recognition and suggest how they may be enhanced. On the whole {\em object topology} is exploited little during verification. In practice, understanding the connectivity relationships between features in the image, or on the object, can lead to significantly more accurate evaluations of recognition hypotheses. Usually adjacent features on an object should be party to mutual visibility constraints. This is to say that when a model is hypothesized in a scene, two features which are adjacent within the model of an object should either both be visible in an image of the object, or both occluded. If not, then we can broadly say that an occlusion event should exist between the two features. In the case that this event fails to be measurable, we can start to infer that the model hypothesis is incorrect. Similar reasoning can be used to exploit image topology and the uniqueness of sets of model-image correspondences. Generally, such a line of thinking departs from traditional approaches in which topological interactions between features are not exploited fully. Testing out our algorithms for topology and occlusion analysis has involved the implementation of a complete object recognition system. The system we have built measures planar algebraic invariants in real images and uses these to index into a model base. The result of the indexing step is a list of hypotheses. These hypotheses are evaluated both using traditional verification algorithms, and also using our more detailed methods.
