Abstract
A system and method which identifies an object in an image. The system accesses a statistical model corresponding to a statistically identifying feature of the object and accesses a characteristic corresponding to a second identifying feature of the object. The system generates a value set from the image, the statistical model, the characteristic, and a geometric relationship. The value set indicates a likely location of the object in the image. The object is located using the value set.
