IMAGE BASED BAGGAGE TRACKING SYSTEM

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer program products for tracking baggage using images. An image of a bag being checked-in may be captured and uploaded to a baggage tracking system. The system may store the image in a baggage tracking database, and associate the stored image with records identifying the bag and/or a travel itinerary for which the bag is being used. The system may characterize images in the database by identifying keypoints in the image, and extracting descriptors from the keypoints. In response to receiving an image of an unidentified bag from a user device, the baggage tracking system may compare descriptors extracted from the received image to descriptors extracted from images stored in the database. Stored images having a sufficient number of matching descriptors may be transmitted to the user device for display to a user. The user may view the images to confirm the identity of the unidentified bag.
