Abstract:
Methods and systems are described herein that allow a user to capture a single image snapshot from video, print, or the world around him or her, and obtain additional information relating to the media itself or items of interest displayed in the snapshot. A fingerprint of the snapshot is used as a query and transmitted to the server. Image Feature-Based Recognition, as described herein, uses a feature index to identify a smaller set of candidate matches from a larger database of images based on the fingerprint. Novel methods and systems using a distance metric and a radical hash table design exploit probabilistic effects and allow distinct image features to be preferred over redundant ones, allowing only the more distinctive data points to remain resident within the index, yielding a lean index that can be quickly used in the identification process.

Claim (Index 8):
The server of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute a replicable query cache module for:\n determining whether the query image feature descriptors included in the query match with one or more prior query image feature descriptors received at a prior time; if the query image feature descriptors included in the query do not match with the one or more prior query image feature descriptors:\n storing the query image feature descriptors as part of the one or more prior query image feature descriptors, and \n providing the query image feature descriptors to the candidate feature descriptors retrieval module; \n and if the query image feature descriptors included in the query match with the one or more prior query image feature descriptors, outputting information associated with the matching one or more prior query image feature descriptors.
