Abstract

Classification of an object in the field of view of a camera. A processor is configured to capture multiple image frames from the camera. A candidate image is detected in the image frames. Alignment of the candidate image is determined relative to at least one previously known training image by inputting the candidate image into a trained alignment classifier and outputting one or more alignment variables therefrom associated with the candidate image. The candidate image and the alignment variable(s) are input into a trained object classifier. The object is classified responsive to the alignment variable(s).
