Abstract:
A method and device for determining at least one set of matching attributes between a plurality of images is disclosed. Two dimensional images are projected to a three dimensional space then searched for matching attributes. Searching for corresponding attributes is much easier and computationally less intensive in the 3D space compared to a search in the 2D space. The method includes steps of projecting at least part of the images of said plurality to a 3-dimensional space resulting in a plurality of 3-D projected images (image1_3D, image2_3D), searching for at least one corresponding set of elements within the 3D projected images of the plurality of 3-D projected images, and calculating back said corresponding elements within the original images of the plurality and providing said corresponding elements within said original images as said at least one set of matched attributes.
