Abstract
We present a method for predicting fundamental performance of
object recognition. We assume that both scene data and model objects are
represented by 2D point features and a data/model match is evaluated
using a vote-based criterion. The proposed method considers data
distortion factors such as uncertainty, occlusion, and clutter, in
addition to model similarity. This is unlike previous approaches, which
consider only a subset of these factors. Performance is predicted in two
stages. In the first stage, the similarity between every pair of model
objects is captured by comparing their structures as a function of the
relative transformation between them. In the second stage, the
similarity information is used along with statistical models of the
data-distortion factors to determine an upper bound on the probability
of recognition error. This bound is directly used to determine a lower
bound on the probability of correct recognition. The validity of the
method is experimentally demonstrated using real synthetic aperture
radar (SAR) data
