HIERARCHICAL ESTIMATION OF IMAGE FEATURES WITH COMPENSATION OF MODEL APPROXIMATION ERRORS

Stefano Casadei

2006

Abstract

To facilitate the optimal estimation of the parameters of a complex image feature, the feature’s model is fragmented into simpler approximating models. By repeating this fragmentation procedure recursively, a hierarchy of feature models is obtained. To ensure that feature parameter values are recovered exactly in the limit of high SNR, an algorithm is proposed to compensate for the model approximation errors between adjacent levels of the hierarchy.
