but bad of words is not for image classification? =x I am very confused!

Bag of features or bag of words?

Have you succeed?? I have a similar problem :/ @user21

in your last paragraph @sammy you said "Unlike the texture descriptor, here you can easily set and understand output parameters - you can accept a match between two pics if a number of keypoints are matched and a homography can be determined between them." how can I choose that value? if a number of keypoints are matched? we need at list how many keypoints paired|/matched to assume a between two images there is the same object? please explain.

@Eduardo I have already done some of those tutorials (very good indeed) and I am in some advanced stage now. I am just confused at how to tell or set a threshold that above for example 100 kp_pairs/matches is a high probability of be the same game between pics

Hello all.

I am truly new to computer vision field, but it is fascinating me! I have now a challenge in my hands and I am seeking for mentors/advisers to give me some follow up.

My project is: From a picture of a video-game cover, search that pic through a video-game cover database, and if there is a very good match the app will return a string with the name of the videogame and the platform.

Problem example: 1 -Take a photo of a cover similar to this: http://i.imgur.com/gpZMbRm.jpg 2 - Cover match to this in the database: http://i.imgur.com/WXhPwf8.png 3 - App gives string: "Fifa 12 Playstation 2"

In my preliminary research I found that I should save in my cover database, the name of the game, the platform, the URL for the cover, and the image features (keypoints and descriptors).

I am using SURF features detector/extractor. My first trials output is something like this: http://i.imgur.com/Rj9lcBr.png .

There are some concepts that I am still confused about... I am not looking for similarity right? I just need to observe if there are some sort of good keypoints-paired/matched, right? Because in the examples images mentioned before I get "img1 - 1087 features (query image), img2 - 1755 features - 30 % - SIMILARITY - 321/333 inliers/matched" What are the inliers? My calculation of similarity seems wrong to me... I would say that these two images are like 70 % look alike...

ps: I am using Python so...

Thanks for your time and help. Sorry If I could not explain any better my problems/concerns.
