Abstract
The embodiments herein provide a method and system for providing an image based mobile augmented reality. The system comprises a mobile device comprising a camera for capturing plurality of images, a display screen for displaying results, a GPS module for determining geographical coordinates, an input interface and a client application including a client-side database; and a central server comprising a server-side database and an image matching and ranking module comprising one or more image matching algorithms for performing an image search. The method comprises capturing a query image, transmitting query data to the central server, applying one or more image matching and ranking algorithms to identify database images matching to the search query, extracting relevant information, presenting the extracted relevant information as search results to the user and providing an option to the user to interactively communicate with the system.
