Efficient Visual Recognition Using the Hausdorff Distance [electronic resource] / edited by William Rucklidge. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1996. - XIV, 186 p. online resource. - Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 1173 0302-9743 ; . - Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 1173 .

The Hausdorff distance -- Exact computation -- Rasterisation -- Efficient computation -- Implementations and examples -- Applications -- Conclusions.

This book presents the theoretical aspects and practical development of a computer vision system for searching an image for a specified model object; this system is reliable, tolerates imperfections in the image and model, and is fast enough for real-world applications. A number of search techniques are evaluated. The capabilities of the author's image search system are demonstrated on a variety of examples, and applications using it to track moving objects and navigate mobile robots are shown. This book is essential reading for anybody interested in model-based object recognition.
