Evolution of Machine Vision Matching Technology and Value Thinking in the AI Era
In the field of machine vision, matching technology is one of the core technologies for target positioning, recognition, and tracking. From early pattern matching to geometric matching, contour matching, and today’s AI deep learning era, matching algorithms have evolved over decades. This paper systematically reviews the development history of this technology, discusses algorithmic paths for performance optimization, and re‑examines the value of traditional matching methods amid the AI wave.
