  • Image-matching navigation using thresholding of local image descriptors
    Patent number: 10402682
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to image matching using local image descriptors thresholding. An image matching tool is associated with at least one electronic processor. The image matching tool is configured to determine a unique bin magnitude threshold descriptor for a test image and an image of a known object of interest stored in a database. The image matching tool determines a classification match of the test image to the image of a known object of interest.
    Type: Grant
