Publication number: 20160012311Abstract: An image matching technique locates feature points in a template image such as a logo and then does the same in a test image. Feature points from the template image are then matched to the feature points in the test image. An additional matching technique boosts the number of points that match each other. The additional points improve the match quality and help discriminate true from false positive matches.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Philip B. Romanik, Neil Lawrence Mayle

Publication number: 20160012304Abstract: An image matching technique locates feature points in a template image such as a logo and then does the same in a test image. Feature points of a template image are determined under various transformations and used to determine a set of composite feature points for each template image. The composite feature points are used to determine if the template image is present in a test image. A covering set for a template image is used to optimize processing of test images.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Neil Lawrence Mayle, Philip B. Romanik
