Image processing device, an image processing method, and computer-readable recording medium
First Claim
1. An image processing device comprising:
- a feature extraction unit that extracts features from scaled samples generated from given region of interest, after normalizing the samples;
a maximum likelihood estimation unit that derives an estimated probability score of the scaled samples by maximizing the likelihood of a given scaled sample and a parameter of the probability distribution model;
an estimation unit that combines the previous estimates of the object and its features into a single template which represents the object appearance, and that removes samples which have a probability score below the threshold;
a feature matching unit that obtains a similarity between a given template and a scaled sample and selecting the sample with the maximum similarity as the final output.

Abstract
An image processing device according to one of the exemplary aspects of the present invention includes: a scale space generation means for generating the scaled samples from a given input region of interest; feature extraction means for extracting features from the scale samples; a likelihood estimation means for deriving an estimated probability distribution of the scaled samples by maximizing the likelihood of a given scaled sample and the parameters of the distribution; a probability distribution learning means for updating the model parameters given the correct distribution of the scaled samples; a template generation means to combine the previous estimates of the object features into a single template which represents the object appearance; an outlier rejection means to remove samples which have a probability below the threshold; and a feature matching means for obtaining the similarity between a given template and a scaled sample and selecting the sample with the maximum similarity as the final output.
