First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining the location or the orientation of a digital photograph, comprising the steps of:
- constructing a database of database images, points and feature descriptors;
receiving an input query image;
extracting features from the input query image to obtain image features;
matching image features to the database, wherein a match is a point in the input query image and a point in the database; and
computing a camera pose.
