An Implicit Shape Model for a given object category consists of a class-specific alphabet (
codebook) of local appearances that are prototypical for the object category, and of a spatial
probability distribution
In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution is the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes for an experiment. It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon i ...
which specifies where each codebook entry may be found on the object.
