Abstract
A fast matching method performs pattern decomposition and synthesis learning to create a pattern search recipe that is used by an invariant pattern search and synthesis method to generate the match result. The pattern search recipe includes template component invariant profiles, component weights, and allowable partial pattern configurations. The invariant matching method supports partial pattern match. This invention decomposes a template into multiple compact shaped components and performs search using separate rotation and scale invariant profiles for each component. It then synthesizes the search results for the complete template or partial template using the component search results.
