Gaussian-minimum average correlation energy filters.

Correlation filters with sharp delta-function correlation peaks [such as phase-only filters and minimum average correlation energy (MACE) filters] do not recognize images on which they are not trained. We show that the MACE filter cannot always recognize intermediate images of true class objects (e.g., aspect views or rotations midway between two training images). New Gaussian-MACE filters offer a solution to this problem.
