Abstract
Systems () and methods () for efficiently and accurately detecting changes in feature data. The methods generally involve: determining first vectors for first features extracted from a first image using pixel information associated therewith; comparing the first vectors with second vectors defined by spatial feature data; classifying the first features into a plurality of classes based on the results of the vector comparisons; and analyzing the first image to determine if any one of the first features of at least one of the plurality of classes indicates that a relevant change has occurred in relation to an object represented thereby.
