set of n image points, said transformation consisting of
rotation, translation, and scaling;
(d) repeating steps (b)-(c) for all sets of n of
said image points and all sets of n model points of a model of
said class of models;
(e) selecting a hypothesized transformation from
said transformations created by steps (b)-(d) wherein said
hypothesized transformation is characterized by an error of
transforming its n model points to its n image points of less
than a predetermined threshold, but when none of said
transformations has an error less than said predetermined
threshold, selecting no transformation; and
(f) indicating recognition of an object in said
image and corresponding to the model including the n model
points of said hypothesized transformation when a hypothesized
transformation is selected in step (e), else indicating no
model objects recognized in said image when no transformation
is selected in step (e).
