Claim:
1. A method of generating a keypoint descriptor for identifying an object in an image, wherein the keypoint descriptor is substantially invariant to a transformation of the object in the image, the method comprising: receiving object data indicative of an object for identification in an image, the image having an image plane associated therewith; generating, by processing the received object data, at least one basis function representing a feature having undergone at least one transformation, using transformations that are out of the image plane to recognize objects from multiple views; modifying a prototype wavelet function based on the at least one basis function to generate a plurality of modified wavelet functions; comparing the plurality of modified wavelet functions with the at least one basis function; selecting a modified wavelet function of the plurality of modified wavelet functions based on the comparison of the plurality of modified wavelet functions with the at least one basis function; and generating the keypoint descriptor by processing at least one of an input image or an input orientation field according to the selected modified wavelet function to.
