A method for processing an image database

摘要

The present invention relates to, inter alia, a method for processing a for use with an analytical method for automatically analyzing of digital images database provided, in which reference images and for each reference image of the characteristic features (feature points) are stored, wherein during the analytical method of the characteristic features of digital images to be analyzed can be determined, and with the characteristic features of the reference images are compared. The required memory space per reference image, as well as the comparison time required for comparing the characteristic features to be reduced, according to the invention, the database automatically during the course of the analytical method is machined, in such a way that, in correspondence of at least one characteristic feature of a picture to be analyzed and a reference image all the characteristic features of the reference image are subjected to a weighting step, and in that, in a function of their weighting characteristic features of the reference image to be deleted from the database. Furthermore, a correspondingly improved method for analyzing of a digital image described.
