Image Recognition and Matching: Color Image Matching with Code Implementation

Image recognition and matching is a technology applied to color image matching, capable of performing image matching with high accuracy rates and rapid processing speeds. The implementation typically involves algorithms like SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) or ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) for feature extraction, followed by matching techniques such as FLANN (Fast Library for Approximate Nearest Neighbors) or brute-force matchers with distance thresholding. The application scope of image recognition and matching is extensive, covering fields like image retrieval, facial recognition, and object detection. Through this technology, we can more accurately locate target images and achieve precise image matching. The speed and accuracy of this technique make it an essential tool in various domains, including computer vision and pattern recognition systems. Key implementation aspects include color space conversion (RGB to HSV for illumination invariance), histogram equalization for contrast enhancement, and feature descriptor matching with RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus) for outlier removal.
