Abstract
A data structure, method, storage medium and logic arrangement are provided for use in collecting and analyzing multilinear data describing various characteristics of different objects. In particular it is possible to recognize an unknown object or an unknown viewpoint of an object, as well as synthesize a known viewpoint never before recorded of an object, and reduce the amount of stored data describing an object or viewpoint by using dimensionality reduction techniques, and the like.
Claims27
A storage medium storing a software program that is adapted for generating an object descriptor of at least one object, wherein the software program, when executed by a processing arrangement, is configured to cause the processing arrangement to execute the operations comprising:
- collecting a plurality of first data elements which contain information regarding at least one characteristic of the at least one object;
- obtaining the object descriptor based on the information of the first data elements, wherein the object descriptor is related to the at least one characteristic and a further characteristic of the at least one object;
- and
- generating a plurality of second data elements which contain information regarding the further characteristic of the at least one object based on the object descriptor, wherein each of the second data elements is one of an identity of an object, a viewpoint, an illumination, or a pixel.
A storage medium including a software program for identifying a sample object based upon a sample object descriptor, wherein the software program, when executed by a processing arrangement, is configured to cause the processing arrangement to execute the operations comprising:
- collecting a plurality of data elements which are defined by at least two primitives;
- obtaining at least one of a plurality of object descriptors based on the information of the data elements;
- and
- comparing the sample object descriptor to at least one of the object descriptors for determining whether the sample object descriptor is identifiable as one of the object descriptors, wherein each of the object descriptors is associated with a respective one of a plurality of objects, wherein the sample object is one of an identity of an object, a viewpoint, an illumination, and a pixel.
A storage medium storing a software program that is adapted for generating an object descriptor, wherein the software program, when executed by a processing arrangement, is configured to cause the processing arrangement to execute the operations comprising:
- collecting a plurality of data elements which are defined by at least two primitives;
- and
- obtaining the object descriptor based on the information of the data elements using an n-mode orthonormal decomposition process.
A storage medium storing a software program for reducing a dimensionality of one of at least two object descriptors, wherein the software program, when executed by a processing arrangement, is configured to cause the processing arrangement to execute the operations comprising:
- collecting a plurality of data elements which are defined by at least two primitives;
- obtaining the one of the object descriptors based on the information of the data elements;
- and
- reducing the dimensionality of the one of the object descriptors, wherein the one of the object descriptors is one of an identity of an object, a viewpoint, an illumination, and a pixel.
