ABSTRACT:
A system and method for locating regions in a target image that match a template image with respect to color and pattern information. The method may comprise performing a first-pass search using color information obtained in a color characterization analysis of the template image in order to find a plurality of color match candidate locations. For each color match candidate location, a region proximal to the location may then be searched in detail, based on pattern information obtained in a pattern analysis of the template image.
