Abstract: A method for recognition between a first and second object represented by at least one first image and at least one second image, includes defining rectangular assemblies of random pixels; filtering the first image with first n filters obtained from the assemblies of pixels to obtain n first filtered matrices; classifying the n first filtered matrices by providing a first center and a first radius within a space of N dimensions; filtering the second image with the first n filters to obtain n second filtered matrices; classifying the n second filtered matrices by providing a second center within the space of N dimensions; and comparing the first center and first radius with the second center.
