Flexible matching with combinational similarity
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for flexible matching with combinational similarity, comprising:
- receiving an object image;
receiving a query image including one or more pixels;
comparing the query image with the object image;
determining one or more matching information based upon combinational similarity, the combinational similarity being a combination of one or more similarity arrays created by comparing one or more gradient histogram information associated with the object image to the one or more gradient histogram information associated with the query image; and
presenting the one or more matching information to a user.

Abstract
Computer-readable media, systems, and methods for flexible matching with combinational similarity are described. In embodiments, an object image is received, a query image is received, and the query image is compared with the object image. In various embodiments matching information is determined based upon combinational similarity and the matching information is presented to a user. In various embodiments, comparing the query image with the object image includes dividing the object image into agents, creating a gradient histogram for the agents, determining map areas for the query image, creating a gradient histogram for the map areas, and creating a similarity array for each of the agents. Further, in various embodiments, determining matching information includes creating a combinational array by combining the similarity arrays for each agent and determining whether the combinational array includes a peak value.
