Abstract
Methods for object recognition and systems that implement the methods. In one embodiment, the method of this invention for processing and identifying images includes two steps. In the first step, object profile characteristics are obtained. In the second step, object profile characteristics are utilized to determine object type and orientation. A system that implements the method of this invention is also disclosed.
