ABSTRACT
Object identification plays a critical role in security inspection such as luggage, parcel and cargo inspection against
object detection under a risky environment. This system automates the process by analyzing scanned luggage or parcel
images. To analyze the image for object identification it uses edge and structure information of the object. This system
uses the reference object model which is represented using Prevailing Color Structure Descriptor(PCSD) for identifying
object from scanned color images. The Prevailing Color Structure Descriptor(PCSD) is based on RGB-SIFT descriptor
which is invariant in various lighting conditions and different orientation of object. This research scheme gives the high
end processing in the field of Object Recognition because this technique focuses on RGB SIFT along with an Image
Segmentation Scheme. In this method for recognition of the object both color and structure properties of object are
used, and representation of the object geometric transformation as well as color information are used. So this object
identification is robust, accurate and invariant against lighting condition and affine transformation. It would be more
helpful for object detection in Airport and Defense Environment. This type recognition will support both Color and Gray
Scale in all formats like JPG, BMP and GIF. In this FOD is tested against several images and its results are encouraging. It
gives 91.22% average precision accuracy of detecting objects.
Keywords: Object Identification, PCSD, RGB-SIFT, Color and Structure Properties Object Detection.

Object recognition in computer vision is the task of finding
a given object in an image or video sequence. Object
recognition in various lighting conditions has high scope in
various applications [8][9][14][13]. For recognizing
objects, efficient representation scheme is needed. There
are several approaches for object representation such as
[3] machine learning based, Eigen vector based, graph
based and Color based [6] [7]. Machine learning based
object description is complicated because in real world
there is a large variation in viewing points and lighting
conditions. Eigen Vector based approach objects are
represented by considering the whole image as a vector
and projecting it over a set of eigen vectors to achieve
data compression and redundant information. These
methods are effective when eigen space captures the
characteristics of whole range of images. That is, when all
the images have a uniform known background. Graph
corresponding feature vectors and the geometric
relationship between these regions are encoded in the
form of a graph. One advantage of graph based
approach is that geometric relationship can be used to
encode certain shape information of the object. But
graph matching complicates the process. In the Color
based approach, there are so many descriptors existing
like color histogram, color moments, dominant color,
color structure and dominant color structure descriptor.
In this system for identifying the object, the important
properties of objects such as edge or shape [2] color
information [3] has been used and Prevailing Color
Structure Descriptor is used for object representation
which is invariant, robust and accurate. Efficient
identification and representation make the system more
accurate.
