Claim One:
1. A method for object identification in multiple images in a series of images, the method comprising: extracting initial knowledge of color and shape features from a statistical image collection and storing the extracted color and shape features in one or more databases; performing shape feature detection and color feature detection on a first image in the series of images to identify an object and a region of interest within the first image, wherein the shape feature detection and color feature detection is based on the color and shape features stored in the one or more databases; extracting new color and shape features based on the identified region of interest and storing the new extracted color and shape features in the one or more databases; performing shape feature detection and color feature detection on a next image in the series of images to identify the object and a region of interest within the next image, wherein the shape feature detection and color feature detection is based on the color and shape features stored in the one or more databases; and repeatedly extracting new color and shape features followed by performing shape feature detection and color feature identification to identify the object in multiple images in the series of images.
