Abstract
A new SDF type correlation filter referred to as the minimum average correlation energy (MACE) filter has been recently described in the literature. In this paper, we experimentally address the distortion tolerance and noise properties of this filter. The MACE filter has attractive properties that include: easily detectable peaks, distortion invariance, simplified training set selection, solutions to input bias effects, performance in noise and real background clutter, and less clutter with its reduced number of training set images. Each of these properties is investigated in detail in this paper.
