Patent attributes
Techniques are provided that include identifying robust features within a training image. Training features are generated by applying a feature detection algorithm to the training image, each training feature having a training feature location within the training image. At least a portion of the training image is transformed into a transformed image in accordance with a predefined image transformation. Transform features are generated by applying the feature detection algorithm to the transformed image, each transform feature having a transform feature location within the transformed image. The training feature locations of the training features are mapped to corresponding training feature transformed locations within the transformed image in accordance with the predefined image transformation, and a robust feature set is compiled by selecting robust features, wherein each robust feature represents a training feature having a training feature transformed location proximal to a transform feature location of one of the transform features.
