METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING OBJECTS IN A SET OF IMAGES RECORDED BY ONE OR MORE CAMERAS
First Claim
1. A method for recognizing objects in recorded images, the images being obtained from mutually different geometric positions, the method comprising the following steps:
- recording a set of images by means of a camera which is freely moved and which makes said images during its movement, thus providing an array of successive images;
estimating the camera movement between successive image recordings based on features of those recorded images;
registering the camera images using a synthetic aperture method.

Abstract
Method for improving the visibly of objects and recognizing objects in a set of images recorded by one or more cameras, the images of said set of images being made from mutual different geometric positions, the method comprising the steps or recording a set or subset of images by means of one camera which is moved rather freely and which makes said images during its movement, thus providing an array of subsequent images, estimating the camera movement between subsequent image recordings, also called ego-motion hereinafter, based on features of those recorded images, registering the camera images using a synthetic aperture method, recognizing said objects.

5. A device for recognizing objects in a set of images, the device comprising
a camera for recording a set of images, a controller configured to actuate said camera to record the images of said set of images from mutual different geometric positions during movements of the device, thus providing an array of successive images; -
a motion estimator or a connection to a motion estimator arranged to estimate the camera movements between the recorded successive images based on features of those recorded successive images; a synthetic aperture processor arranged to process the camera images by means of a synthetic aperture method to register the images. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product, comprising a program of instructions for a programmable processor system that, when executed by the programmable processor system, will cause the programmable processor system to
record a set or subset of images from one camera which is freely moved and which makes said images during its movement, thus providing an array of subsequent images; -
estimate the camera movement between subsequent image recordings based on features of those recorded images; register the camera images using a synthetic aperture method.
