Object Recognition

  • Chapter
  • 241 Accesses

Abstract

Object or feature recognition includes tasks of very different levels of complexity. At the upper end, this includes some of the most important and interesting applications of artificial intelligence. At the low end, it can be as “simple” as OCR (Optical Character Recognition), used in processing checks, sorting mail, and closely related to the location and reading of UPC (Universal Product Codes) symbols on packaged food at the supermarket.
