How do we compare the pattern image against other images? As the pattern can be affected by perspective transformation, it's obvious that we can't directly compare pixels of the pattern and test image. The feature points and feature descriptors are helpful in this case. There is no universal or exact definition of what the feature is. The exact definition often depends on the problem or the type of application. Usually ...
