A computing system and method for object recognition is presented. The method includes the computing system obtaining an image for representing the one or more objects, and generating a target image portion associated with one of the one or more objects. The computing system determines whether to classify the target image portion as textured or textureless, and selects a template storage space from among a first and second template storage space, wherein the first template storage space is cleared more often relative to the second template storage space. The first template storage space is selected in response to a textureless classification, and the second template storage space is selected as the template storage space in response to a textured classification. The computing system performs object recognition based on the target image portion and the selected template storage space.
