Abstract
A method for generating a signal based on a visual image includes photographing a target object with a digital camera to obtain a target image; receiving the target image into a processor that is in communication with the camera; cross-correlating the target image with a structure having a variety of scales across the target image; and based on cross-correlating the target image, generating a signal for output on a device associated with the camera. A visual recognition system is also disclosed.

A method for generating a signal based on a visual image, the method comprising:
- photographing a target object with a digital camera to obtain a target image;
- receiving the target image into a processor that is in communication with the camera;
- cross-correlating the target image with a structure having a variety of scales across the target image;
- based on cross-correlating the target image, generating a signal for output on a device associated with the camera.
A recognition system comprising:
- a camera;
- an interface configured for receiving commands from an operator of the recognition system;
- a speaker;
- a speaker driver in communication with the speaker;
- a memory;
- a processor in electrical communication with the camera, the interface, the speaker driver and the memory, wherein the processor is programmed so as to receive a target image of a target object from the camera, to cross-correlate the target image with a structure, and to extract icons from the target image.
A recognition system comprising:
- a camera;
- an interface configured for receiving commands from an operator of the recognition system;
- a speaker;
- a speaker driver in communication with the speaker;
- a memory;
- a processor in electrical communication with the camera, the interface, the speaker driver and the memory, wherein the processor is programmed so as to receive a target image of a target object from the camera, to cross-correlate the target image with a structure, and to output a signal to the speaker driver, wherein the signal includes an indication of the pattern on the target object based on cross-correlating the target image with the structure.
