A cooperating strategy for objects recognition

The paper describes an object recognition system, based on the co-operation of several visual modules (early vision, object detector, and object recog nizer). The system is active because the behavior of each module is tuned o n the results given by other modules and by the internal models. This solut ion allows to detect inconsistencies and to generate a feedback process. Th e proposed strategy has shown good performance especially in case of comple x scene analysis, and it has been included in the visual system of the DAIS Y robotics system. Experimental results on real data are also reported.
