First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of classifying an object in an image, comprising:
- providing a depth image;
identifying at least one area of said depth image unsatisfactory for object identification;
determining a plurality of two-dimensional projections of surface normals in said depth image without considering said unsatisfactory at least one area; and
classifying one or more objects based on the plurality of two-dimensional projections of surface normals.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for classifying an object in an image is disclosed. A depth image is provided. At least one area of the depth image unsatisfactory for object identification are identified. A plurality of two-dimensional projections of surface normals in the depth image is determined without considering the unsatisfactory at least one area. One or more objects are classified based on the plurality of two-dimensional projections of surface normals.
