ABSTRACT:
Provided are an image processing method employing pattern matching, whereby the number of calculations for a normalized correlation factor can be reduced and processing speed can be increased in a pattern matching process, and an image processing system therefor. In the pattern matching processing when an insensitive region is set in a template image, values (the sum and the squared sum) obtained during a previous operation for a prior search target sub-image are employed to perform calculations for a current search target sub-image, relative to coordinate sequence code that indicates the start point and the end point of a sequence of pixels having values of "1."
