Scene / image recognition
Hi all, I would appreciate any thoughts on a new project I wish to undertake. I am rather fascinated by the idea of image recognition software, I would like to write something that can pick categories of items from a scene. I was wondering about approach to this sort of thing. The idea of a template 'lookup' definition came to mind, with a library of basic objects as a starting point, then I could use heuristics etc in an evaluation routine. Id be happy if i just got the thing to output 'two cups' 'two saucers'. But i think even with a two tone sillhouette this would be tough, never mind the problems with a photograph, multitude of angles and image etc. Thanks for any thoughts on different approaches to this.
