Abstract

A system for image processing includes determining edge pixels of a model image using an edge based technique and determining an angular orientation for each the edge pixels of the model image. The system determines a histogram of gradient orientations based upon the angular orientations of the model image. The system determining edge pixels of an input image using an edge based technique and determining an angular orientation for each of the edge pixels of the input image. The system determines a histogram of gradient orientations based upon the angular orientations of the input image. The system compares the histogram of gradient orientations of the model image with the histogram of gradient orientations of the input image to determine candidate locations of an object within the input image.
