1. A method for classifying a known object in a field of view of a digital camera, the method comprising: developing a plurality of classifier feature vectors, each classifier feature vector associated with one of a plurality of facet viewing angles of the known object; capturing, using the digital camera, an image in a field of view including the known object; generating an image feature vector based upon said captured image; comparing the image feature vector with each of the plurality of classifier feature vectors and selecting one of the plurality of classifier feature vectors that most closely corresponds to the image feature vector; and determining a pose of the known object relative to the digital camera based upon the selected classifier feature vector.
