Abstract

A new approach for the template image matching is being presented. The method first converts the image into edges, then, the vital information of these edges has been presented as a set of vectors in a four dimensional hyper-space. A modified Radon Transform has been proposed to facilitate this vectorization process. All the above processing is being done offline for the main image of the area. The template image has also been vectorized in a same fashion in real time which is to be matched with the main image. A vector matching algorithm has been proposed to deliver match location with a very low computational cost. It works for a wide range of template scaling and noise conditions which were not there in the previous algorithms found in the literature.
