Abstract
In some implementations, an image recognition system is capable of using an iterative multi-stage image matching procedure to improve the accuracy and/or reliability of matching a search image with a small number of distinctive feature points to reference images. In the first stage, the system compares a search template for the search image to reference templates of each image within the set of reference images. The system determines a best-matched reference image from among the reference images of the set of reference images. In the second stage, the system compares the hybrid search template to one or more reference templates of reference images that is not the best-matched reference image. The comparison can be used to either compute match scores for reference images corresponding to the one or more reference templates.
