ABSTRACT:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for computer vision including a plurality of images, a signature processor adapted to generate a signature based at least in part on a curvelet transform, and a matching processor adapted to receive a query image. The matching processor is adapted to determine a query signature for the query image using the signature processor. The matching processor is adapted to determine at least one matching image from the plurality of images based at least in part on the query signature.
