Patent ID: 8355533

Claim:
System for providing a mobile user, object related information related to an object visible thereto, the system comprising: an image source, said image source including at least one image of at least a portion of said object; a local-interest-points and semi-global geometry (LIPSGG) extraction processor coupled with said image source, said LIPSGG extraction processor extracting an LIPSGG model of said object from said at least one image, said LIPSGG model including data respective of a plurality of feature vectors of said object and respective of semi-global geometry of said object, each of said feature vectors determining variations in a plurality of pixel values at a region surrounding a local-interest-point of said object, said semi-global geometry determining a plurality of relative distances and a plurality of relative angles between the local-interest-points of said object; and a remote LIPSGG identifier, coupled with said LIPSGG extraction processor via a network, said remote LIPSGG identifier receiving said LIPSGG model from said LIPSGG extraction processor via said network, said remote LIPSGG identifier identifying said object according to said LIPSGG model, said remote LIPSGG identifier retrieving said object related information, said remote LIPSGG identifier providing said object related information to said mobile user.
