1. A method for automatically determining a discretization step length of an object model transformation comprising a set of model points, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) providing a digital electronic image of the object with a camera;

    (b) providing an initial value for the discretization step length based on the size of the object;

    (c) identifying a minimum similarity measure that is associated with the current discretization step;

    (d) halving the discretization step length until the associated minimum similarity measure exceeds a certain threshold to determine a resultant discretization step; and

    (e) using the resultant discretization step length to generate model transformations for object recognition.
