Abstract:

A small, fuzzy, and stuffed ``Doc'' from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is to be recognized by the machine vision system described in this paper. Problem constraints are purposefully vague; Doc is to be recognized in a veriety of poses in clutter. A method of color segmentation in the hue-saturation-value (HSV) color space is employed to segment parts of Doc from the clutter, which are bound with a minimum enclosing box of the contours extracted from these segmented blobs. A rudimentary matching algorithm is described.
