This week I solved a major problem that was blocking me for a while. I am now able to do a very major part of my project that I was having a lot of trouble with for the last few weeks. I am able to match a piece of an image within the larger image, without using a very naiive approach of doing a simple subtraction of the image block from the overall image.
This is one of 6 methods. 5 of those 6 methods that use the template image among some that convolve the image and find the features and match them among the original image. I am still working on ways of making this as robust to rotations as possible. I need to do more testing to ensure that this is possible and I can meld this with previous research. This is my largest contribution for this week, the rest has been touching up previous pieces of code and working on the overall pieces of the pipeline.
