Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: selecting a source shape from a source image, wherein the source shape contains p>4 pixels; selecting a first set of one or more rectangular features in the source shape, wherein at least one of the rectangular features in the first set is 2×2 pixels or larger; calculating a source feature vector based on pixel value sums of the rectangular features in the first set; selecting a target shape from a target image, wherein the target shape contains p pixels; selecting a second set of one or more rectangular features in the target shape based on the rectangular features in the first set; calculating a target feature vector based on pixel value sums of the rectangular features in the second set; determining that a difference between the source feature vector and the target feature vector is below an error threshold; and based on the difference between the source feature vector and the target feature vector being below the error threshold, determining a mapping between the source image and the target image and applying the mapping to one of the source image and the target image to produce a transformed image.
