1. A process for recognizing objects in an image frame, comprising steps for:

  • detecting an object in the image frame and bounding a portion of the image frame associated with the object resulting in a bound portion of the image frame that is associated with the object and an unbound portion of the image frame that is not associated with the object;

    transforming only the bound portion and not the unbound portion of the image frame using a wavelet transformation to generate a transformed image;

    locating, on the transformed image, nodes associated with distinguishing features of the object defined by wavelet jets of a bunch graph generated from a plurality of representative object images;

    identifying the object based on a similarity between wavelet jets associated with an object image in a gallery of object images and wavelet jets at the nodes on the transformed image.
