Abstract:
There is provided a method of identifying objects in an image, comprising: extracting query descriptors from the image, comparing each query descriptor with training descriptors for identifying matching training descriptors, each training descriptor is associated with a reference object identifier and with relative location data (distance and direction from a center point of a reference object indicated by the reference object identifier), computing object-regions of the digital image by clustering the query descriptors having common center points defined by the matching training descriptors, each object-region approximately bounding one target object and associated with a center point and a scale relative to a reference object size, wherein the object-regions are computed independently of the identifier of the reference object associated with the object-regions, wherein members of each cluster point toward a common center point, and classifying the target object of each object-region according to the reference object identifier of the cluster.
