Abstract:
1. A method for identifying a three-dimensional object in an image performed by a remote device, the method comprising: obtaining a set of images representing a first object from a second device, each image of the set representing the first object from a different point of view; storing each image of the set with an identifier of the first object; receiving a plurality of images in a video feed from a mobile device, the plurality of images including a representation of a second object; selecting a first image from the plurality of images; identifying a first plurality of points in the first image; determining a representation of the first image based on the first plurality of points; identifying a second image to compare to the first image based on the representation, the second image being one of the set of images; identifying a second plurality of points in the second image; comparing the first plurality of points to the second plurality of points; determining the second image to be a candidate for a match of the first image based on comparing the first plurality of points to the second plurality of points; in response to determining the second image to be a candidate, selecting a third image from the plurality of images; identifying a third plurality of points in the third image; comparing the third plurality of points to the second plurality of points; determining the second object to be a match for the first object based on comparing the first plurality of points to the second plurality of points and comparing the third plurality of points to the second plurality of points; and sending, by the remote device, information about the first object to the mobile device.
