Method and system for searching for information pertaining target objects

A computer implemented method of reducing complexity of a visual search for at least one target object, using at least one user device, which is a communication device enabling to obtain images of target objects, transmit data relating to the target object and the location of the user device and communicate through at least one communication network, the method comprising:

• obtaining an image of a target object creating at least one target image, using the user device;
• receiving image data and metadata associated with the target object from the user device;
• searching for the target object in at least one known objects database comprising the locations and identifying data of known objects to identify the target object;
• and
• retrieving information related to the identified target object,
• wherein the known objects database is structured according to the locations of the known objects to allow visual search therethrough, wherein the database is associated with at least one geographical general zone, each general zone is partitioned into sub zones, wherein the size and shape of each sub zone in each general zone is defined according to the distribution of known objects in the general zone, and
• wherein the visual search corresponds to the structuring of the objects database, using the received metadata that includes the location data of the user device to identify at least one sub zone of a general zone in the at least one objects database in which the target object is searched.

A computer implemented method for structuring a database of known objects, according to geographic locations of the known objects, for reducing complexity of visual searches through the database, enabling a user to transmit image data and metadata relating to a target object, using a user device that enables communication through at least one communication network,

• the method includes:
• defining general zones, according to predefined rules;
• partitioning each general zone into sub zones, according to the distribution of known objects in the general zone;
• wherein the size and shape of each sub zone is determined according the distribution of the known objects.
