Nikolaos Bourbakis\, Advisor\, Soon Chun g\, Yong Pei\, and Arnab Shaw (EE) ABSTRACTThe recognition of single objec ts is an old research field with many techniques and robust results. The p robabilistic recognition of incomplete objects\, however\, remains an acti ve field with challenging issues associated to shadows\, illumination and other visual characteristics. This dissertation presents a suite of high-l evel\, model-based computer vision techniques encompassing both geometric and machine learning approaches to generate probabilistic matches of objec ts with varying degrees and forms of non-deformed incompleteness. The reco gnition of incomplete objects requires the formulation of a database of si x-sided exemplar images from which an identification can be made. The imag es are broken down by different algorithms followed by region and segment isolation along with object level rotation and segment level synthesis fro m which geometric and characteristic properties are generated in a process known as the Local-Global (L-G) Graph method. The properties are then sto red into a database for processing against sample images featuring various missing features or non-deformed distortions in a multithreaded manner. T he multi-factor matching procedure uses weighted measures to determine the likelihood of a sample image matching one of the exemplars. The ability t o find a match is extensible in the future by adding additional detection methods.Overall\, the results\, while promising\, show that there is still much work to be done. It is evident that there are many additional avenue s to explore related to different detection methodologies along with perfo rmance enhancements to be employed across both computational and memory co nstrained resources to drive the recognition of incomplete objects in prod uction systems.
