Logo Recognition Technique using Sift Descriptor, Surf Descriptor and Hog Descriptor

Logos sometimes also known as trademark have high importance in today’s marketing world. Logo or trademark is of high importance because it carries the goodwill of the company and the product. Logo matching and recognition is important to discover either improper or unauthorized use of logos. Query images may come with different types of scale, rotation, affine distortion, illumination noise, highly occluded noise. Sift descriptor, surf descriptor and hog descriptor are very good features to use among the existing techniques to recognize the logo images from such difficulties more accurately. General Terms Logo Recognition, invariant to scale, rotation, invariant to illumination noise, occluded objects .
