Abstract
The accuracy of an image matching and/or object identification process can be improved by utilizing a BCM network-based process that maintains higher order relationships between features in an image. A dataset of images can be converted to floating point vectors and then processed using a BCM-based approach. The resulting vectors can be stored as an image library for purposes of matching subsequently received images. When a match is located for a query image, for example, information associated with the matching image can be provided in order to help identify one or more objects in the received query image.
