Abstract
In one example, a method includes sending, from a mobile device and to a remote server, a message indicating a first captured image corresponds to a first sample image in response to determining that the degree of similarity between the first captured image and the first sample image is within a first similarity interval. The method includes sending, to the remote server, a message representing at least part of a second captured image in response to determining that the degree of similarity between the second captured image and a second sample image is within a second similarity interval. The method also includes refraining from sending a message associated with a third captured image to the server in response to determining that the degree of similarity between the third captured image and a third sample image is within the first or second similarity intervals.
