1. A method of image processing for detecting and recognizing an image object in an image, the method comprising: detecting at least one image object using a plurality of pose-specific object detectors; fusing the outputs from the object pose detectors; recognizing at least one image object using a plurality of pose-specific object recognizers that use outputs from the pose-specific detectors and the fused output of the pose-specific detectors; and fusing the outputs of the pose-specific object recognizers to recognize the image object.
