Target Locating in Clutter

  • Leonid Yaroslavsky
Chapter

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the problem of locating targets in images that contain, besides the target object, a clutter of non-target objects that obscure the target object. As it follows from the discussion in Sect. 10.7, background non-target objects represent the main obstacle for reliable object localization in this case. Our purpose therefore is to find out how can one design a localization device that minimizes the danger of false identification of the target object with one of the non-target objects.
