Template Matching - Template-based Approach

Template-based Approach

For templates without strong features, or for when the bulk of the template image constitutes the matching image, a template-based approach may be effective. As aforementioned, since template-based template matching may potentially require sampling of a large number of points, it is possible to reduce the number of sampling points by reducing the resolution of the search and template images by the same factor and performing the operation on the resultant downsized images (multiresolution, or pyramid, image processing), providing a search window of data points within the search image so that the template does not have to search every viable data point, or a combination of both.

Famous quotes containing the word approach:

    Girls tend to attribute their failures to factors such as lack of ability, while boys tend to attribute failure to specific factors, including teachers’ attitudes. Moreover, girls avoid situations in which failure is likely, whereas boys approach such situations as a challenge, indicating that failure differentially affects self-esteem.
    Michael Lewis (late–20th-century)
