Abstract
The image processing method to discover a specific pattern out of the image is called template matching. Template matching searches the image by calculating the degree of coincidence to all pixels. However, this method has a problem which takes a long time for processing. In order to solve the problem, in this paper, we propose the image matching method using the characteristic points of the image. In the proposal method, first the original image and the template image is prepared. Next, we make the edge images which extracted from images which were prepared. And corners are extracted from edge images. In this paper, the corner is used as a characteristic point. It will use the characteristic points of those two images, when the image matching is done. As a result of the experiment, the template image was able to be searched from the original image using the proposal method.
