US Patent 9317921 Speed-up template matching using peripheral information

A method for template matching is described. In one implementation, an image including a target object is captured by a camera. A pose of the camera is estimated based, at least in part, on peripheral information from the image. Pre-selecting is performed on a set of pose templates by matching the pose of the camera to poses associated with pose templates to identify a set of matching pose templates. The template matching for the target object is then performed using the set of matching pose templates.
