Abstract:
An automatic template generation method comprising the steps of:a. input a learning image; b. generate a multi-resolution representation of the learning image; c. perform a multi-resolution template generation from low resolution to high resolution using the multi-resolution representation of the learning image to create a multi-resolution template output wherein said multi-resolution template generation for each resolution further comprises: i. input at least one learning image; ii. perform image pre-processing on the at least one input learning image; iii. perform an exhaustive search to select a template that yields the maximum discrimination power output wherein the discrimination power output for template generation is determined by: a) calculating the signal content from the input learning image, and b) calculating a first maximum matching value, and c) calculating a second maximum matching value.
