Abstract
Systems and methods for determining similarities between an input data set and a target data set with the data sets being vector representations of the features of a candidate potential copy and a target original. A feature extraction module receives an image of the potential copy and extracts the features of that candidate. The features of the target original may already be extracted or may be separately extracted. The resulting data sets for the candidate and the original are then passed through a decision module. The decision module determines a level of similarity between the features of the candidate and the features of the original. The output of the decision module provides an indication of this level of similarity and, depending on this level of similarity, an alert may be generated. A report module may be included to provide an explanation regarding the level of similarity.
