Abstract
Various embodiments utilize two-dimensional ('2D') and three-dimensional ('3D') object features for purposes such as object recognition and/or image matching. For example, a user can capture an image (e.g., still images or video) of an object and can receive information about items that are determined to match the object. For example, the image can be analyzed to detect visual features (e.g., corners, edges, etc.) of the object and the detected visual features can be combined to generate a combined visual feature vector which can be used for object recognition, image matching, or other such purposes. Other approaches utilize the image to generate a 3D model of the object represented in the image, which can be used to determine at least one object or types of objects that match the object represented in the image.
