Abstract
Examples of the disclosure enable efficient processing of images. In some examples, one or more interest points are identified in an image. One or more features are extracted from the identified interest points using a filter module, a gradient module, a pool module, and/or a normalizer module. The extracted features are aggregated to generate one or more vectors. Based on the generated vectors, it is determined whether the extracted features satisfy a predetermined threshold. Based on the determination, the image is classified such that the image is configured to be processed based on the classification. Aspects of the disclosure facilitate conserving memory at a local device, reducing processor load or an amount of energy consumed at the local device, and/or reducing network bandwidth usage between the local device and the remote device.
