Object recognition is the method of finding an object in an image. We recognize objects without any effort easily. It is a challenging task for computer vision systems due to the size, shape, and structure of objects in an image. In this paper, an efficient object recognition system is presented based on Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT). The energy features obtained form the EWT decomposed image is used as features for the given object. As EWT, a multiresolution analysis, the given image is decomposed at various level of decomposition and the obtained features are analyzed at each level of decomposition. The evaluation of the system is carried on Columbia Object Image Library Dataset (COIL) which consists of 100 objects captured at different orientations. The classification is done with Knearest neighbor (KNN) which gives 98.42% accuracy.
