Abstract: Several novel methods based on locally extracted object features and spatial constellation models have recently been introduced for invariant object detection and recognition. The accuracy and reliability of the methods depend on the success of both tasks: evidence extraction and spatial constellation model search. In this study an accurate and efficient method for evidence extraction is introduced. The proposed method is based on simple Gabor features and their statistical ranking.
