ABSTRACT:
Automated techniques for comparing contents of images. For a given image (referred to as an “input image”), a set of images (referred to as “a set of candidate images”) are processed to determine if the set of candidate images comprises an image whose contents or portions thereof match contents included in a region of interest in the input image.
