Design and Performance in Object Recognition

We discuss design of vision modules, and discern three conceptual levels of design: the method (as the rationale behind the module as is usually reported in literature), the algorithm (the decomposition in computational steps) and the software code. We argue that at all stages, design goes hand in hand with performance in terms of aptness, correctness and figures of merit. We discuss the need, use and limitations of performance analysis. Also, we opt for a dual system design to include performance analysis in system architecture.
