Abstract

Method for at least one of model-based classification and target recognition of an object. The method includes recording an image of an inanimate object, determining a feature that represents a part of the inanimate object, determining at least one condition associated with the feature that indicates an applicability of the feature based on at least one of geometry of the object, distance of the object from a camera, illumination conditions, contrast, speed of the object, height of the object, and relative position of the object to a camera, and carrying out the at least one of classification and target recognition of the object by recording the feature when the at least one condition indicates the applicability of the feature. At least one of object classification and target recognition is carried out for a feature of the object that is visible and recordable according to the position of the object. The recording, the determining the feature, the determining the at least one condition, and the carrying out are implemented on a computer.
