Estimating the term…
Systems and methods search pixels of source images and compare them to pixels of templates. Best matches correlate to objects in the image. That environmental conditions impact the appearance of objects, best matching scores suffer under poor lighting and other adverse conditions. Improving scores includes augmenting traditional correlation techniques with object features extracted from the source image and matching them to templates corresponding to the features. Certain embodiments contemplate corrupting pixels of image templates corresponding to objects with pixels extracted from the source image corresponding to features. Representative features include corners, edges, ridges, points/regions of interest, etc. Other embodiments note augmented correlation as a computing application and computing devices therefore, including cameras for capturing images and displaying results to users.

In a computing system environment, a method for recognizing objects in images defined by pixels, comprising:
A computing device that recognizes objects in images defined by pixels, comprising:
An augmented correlation application available on a computer readable medium or hosted on a computing device having memory for download onto a controller of an imaging device or a mobile computing device comprising executable code operative for extracting objects and delimiting features thereof from a source image for comparison to pluralities of templates of same and selecting best matches, and combining together results thereof.
