Abstract
The Object recognition is the task of finding and labeling parts of a two-dimensional (2D) image of a scene that correspond to objects in the scene. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient approach using level set method for extracting object shape contour and convex hull as a shape invariant features to the Feed forward Neural Network classifier for object recognition. We extracted the shape contour by level set method. Then, we have obtained invariant shape feature, convex hull of the objects. This convex hull set serves as a pattern for the Neural Network. Initially Feed forward neural network trained on the odd data set and tested on even data set. Our approach is evaluated on the Amsterdam Library of Object Images collection, a large collection of object images containing 1000 objects recorded under various imaging circumstances. The experimental results clearly demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms. The proposed method is shown to be effective under a wide variety of imaging conditions.
