Abstract
A method for object recognition includes generating a set of rules, using multiple systems to recognize a target object, applying the set of rules to a set of responses to determine an output, and displaying the output to a user. Each rule contains predicates and a consequent, each predicate comprising a rule token identifier and a rule probability of recognition. The rule token identifiers are generated from multiple systems. Each rule token identifier represents a system recognized object. Each rule is derived by associating a range of rule probabilities of recognition for one or more rule token identifiers to a known object. The range of rule probabilities of recognition is determined by at least one system and by combining multiple rule probabilities of recognition. Each system produces a response having a response token identifier and a response probability of recognition. Responses are combined to form the sets of responses.
