I have been working with the SURF feature detection example from the EMGU CV library.
So far it's working amazingly; I can detect matching objects between 2 given images but I have run into a problem in regards to when the images do not match.
I was looking for support from the forums but they are down from where I am. Would anyone know which parameters determine whether an image is a match or not. When I test with 2 images that are not a match, the code still proceeds as if there was a match and draws a blurred thick red line on a random location of the image even when there is not a match.
If there is no match I would wish to break from the code and not proceed further.
