SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENTLY AND ACCURATELY DETECTING CHANGES IN SPATIAL FEATURE DATA
First Claim
1. A method for efficiently and accurately detecting changes in feature data, comprising:
- determining, by at least one electronic circuit, first vectors for first features extracted from a first image;
comparing, by the electronic circuit, the first vectors with pre-defined second vectors;
classifying, by the electronic circuit, the first features into a plurality of classes based on the results of the comparing step; and
analyzing the first image to determine if any one of the first features of at least one of the plurality of classes indicates that a relevant change has occurred in relation to an object represented thereby.

Abstract
Systems (100) and methods (300) for efficiently and accurately detecting changes in feature data. The methods generally involve: determining first vectors for first features extracted from a first image using pixel information associated therewith; comparing the first vectors with second vectors defined by spatial feature data; classifying the first features into a plurality of classes based on the results of the vector comparisons; and analyzing the first image to determine if any one of the first features of at least one of the plurality of classes indicates that a relevant change has occurred in relation to an object represented thereby.
