abstract = {Indexing is an efficient method of recovering match
hypotheses in model-based object recognition. Unlike other methods,
which search for viewpoint-invariant shape descriptors to use as
indices, we use a learning method to model the smooth variation in
appearance of local feature sets (LFS). Indexing from LFS effectively
deals with the problems of occlusion and missing features. The indexing
functions generated by the learning method are probability
distributions describing the possible interpretations of each index
value. During recognition, this information can be used to select the
least ambiguous features for matching. A verification stage follows so
that the final reliability and accuracy of the match is greater than
that from indexing alone. This approach has the potential to work with
a wide range of image features and model types.},
