Abstract
Among other things, the present disclosure relates to image searching. With a depth map, image pixels of an image having depth values intersecting a desired optical field can be identified. A territory can be set based on locations of the identified image pixels. Feature detection can be performed on the image within the set territory. The feature detection can be limited to the set territory.
Claims26
A method comprising, via one or more processors:
- identifying, with a depth map, image pixels of an image having depth values intersecting a desired optical field;
- setting a territory based on locations of the identified image pixels;
- and
- performing feature detection on the image within the set territory, the feature detection being limited to the set territory.
A processing system comprising one or more processors configured to:
- identify, with a depth map, image pixels of an image having depth values intersecting a desired optical field;
- set a territory based on locations of the identified image pixels;
- perform feature detection on the image within the set territory;
- and
- limit the feature detection to the set territory.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code, which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations, the program code comprising code for:
- identifying, with a depth map, image pixels of an image having depth values intersecting a desired optical field;
- setting a territory based on locations of the identified image pixels;
- and
- performing feature detection on the image within the set territory, the feature detection being limited to the set territory.
