Image Matching

Image matching is a process in computer vision where two or more images are compared to identify common features or objects. It involves analyzing patterns, shapes, or key points within the images to see how they align or correspond to each other. This technique helps computers recognize objects, track movement, or create 3D models from multiple images. For example, in smartphone photo organization, image matching can group similar pictures together, or in navigation, it helps identify landmarks by matching images taken from different angles. It’s a foundational tool for enabling machines to interpret visual information accurately.
