<p>Techniques are disclosed for performing robust feature matching for visual search. An apparatus comprising an interface and a feature matching unit may implement these techniques. The interface receives a query feature descriptor. The feature matching unit then computes a distance between a query feature descriptor and reference feature descriptors and determines a first group of the computed distances and a second group of the computed distances in accordance with a clustering algorithm, where this second group of computed distances comprises two or more of the computed distances. The feature matching unit then determines whether the query feature descriptor matches one of the reference feature descriptors associated with a smallest one of the computed distances based on the determined first group and second group of the computed distances.</p> |
