Abstract
A statistically optimal formulation is presented for recognizing multiple, partially occluded objects. The optimality, in terms of the maximum a posteriori (MAP) principle, is with respect to all, rather than just individual modeled objects. Various constraints are incorporated into the posterior distribution, a two-stage MAP estimation approach is proposed to reduce the computational cost
