Abstract
A method for enhancing facial/object recognition includes receiving a query image, and providing a database of object images, including images relevant to the query image, each image having a first attribute and a second attribute with each of the first attribute and the second attribute having a first state and a second state. The method also includes creating an augmented database by generating a plurality of artificial images for each image in the database, the artificial images cooperating with the image to define a set of images including every combination of the first attribute and the second attribute in each of the first state and the second state, and comparing the query image to the images in the augmented database to find one or more matches.
