Abstract
One or more aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards identifying objects within an image via image searching/matching. In one aspect, an image is processed into bounding boxes, with the bounding boxes further processed to each surround a possible object. A sub-image of pixels corresponding to the bounding box is featurized for matching with tagged database images. The information (tags) associated with any matched images is processed to identify/categorize the sub-image and thus the object corresponding thereto.
