Abstract
A digital image of the object is captured and the object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access information and initiate communication pertinent to the object.
Claims45
A system comprising:
- a mobile device connection configured to acquire a digital representation of a scene including an object from a mobile device;
- an image processing platform configured to:
- obtain the digital representation;
- recognize at least a portion of the object using a descriptor derived by executing an implementation of a recognition algorithm on the digital representation;
- identify target object information by comparing the descriptor to at least one descriptor in a data set storing object information addressable via descriptors;
- and
- yield a ranked subset of the target object information, wherein the ranked subset is based on a ranking of a match quality of the descriptor to the at least one descriptor in the data set;
- and
- wherein the mobile device is configured to receive an address related to the ranked subset of target object information, and present digital content via the address and based at least in part on the ranked subset of target object information.

A method performed by a mobile device, comprising:
- configuring a computing device to operate as a image processing platform;
- acquiring, by the mobile device, a digital representation of a scene including an object;
- recognizing, by the image processing platform, at least a portion of the object using a descriptor derived from executing an implementation of a recognition algorithm on the digital representation;
- identifying, by the image processing platform, target object information by comparing the descriptor to at least one descriptor in a data set storing object information indexed by descriptors;
- yielding a ranked subset of the target object information, wherein the ranked subset is based on a ranking of a match quality of the descriptor to the at last one descriptor in the data set;
- obtaining an address related to the ranked subset of the target object information;
- and
- using the address to present a first video via a display of the mobile device.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors and operable for storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a digital representation of a scene including an object;
- recognizing at least a portion of the object using a descriptor derived from executing an implementation of a recognition algorithm on the digital representation;
- identifying target object information by comparing the descriptor to at least one descriptor in a data set storing object information indexed by descriptors;
- yielding a ranked subset of the target object information, wherein the ranked subset is based on a ranking of a match quality of the descriptor to the at last one descriptor in the data set;
- obtaining an address related to the ranked subset of the target object information;
- and
- using the address to present a first video via a display of a mobile device communicatively coupled to at least one of the one or more processors.
