A method recognizes an object in an image. Gallery images include identified objects, and a probe image includes an unidentified object. The probe image is paired with each gallery image to generate pairs of images. First filters are applied to the probe image of each pair to obtain a first feature value for each application of each filter. Second filters are applied to the each gallery image of each pair to obtain a second feature value for each application of each filter. The feature values are summed for each application of each filter, and for each application, a score is set to an acceptance weight if the sum is greater than a predetermined threshold, and otherwise setting the score to a rejection weight. The scores are summed for all of the application, and the probe image is identified with any gallery image when the score is greater than zero.
