FEATURE MATCHING METHOD

摘要

In a feature matching method for recognizing an object in two-dimensional or three-dimensional image data, features in each of which a predetermined attribute in the two-dimensional or three-dimensional image data takes a local maximum and/or minimum are detected (10), and features existing along edges and line contours from the detected features are excluded (12). Thereafter, the remaining features are allocated to a plane, some features are selected from the allocated features by using local information, and feature matching for the selected features being set as objects is performed (14).
