System and method for image recognition and matching for targeted advertisement
The current specification covers various new algorithms, methods, and systems for, e.g., image recognition (e.g., for action, gesture, emotion, expression, biometrics, fingerprint, facial, OCR (text recognition), background, relationship, position, pattern, and object), machine learning, training schemes, feature space, clustering, classification, similarity measures, optimization, search engine, ranking, question-answering system, soft (fuzzy or unsharp) boundaries/impreciseness/fuzziness in language, clustering, and recognition, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computing with Words (CWW), parsing, machine translation, sound and speech recognition, video search and analysis (e.g. tracking), image annotation, geometrical abstraction, image correction, semantic web, context analysis, data reliability (e.g., using Z-number (e.g., “About 45 minutes; Very sure”)), rules engine, control system, autonomous vehicle, system diagnosis, medical diagnosis, biomedicine, large number of images analytics, event prediction, financial forecasting, economics, risk assessment, e-mail management, database management, indexing and join operation, memory management, data compression, and crowd-sourcing (using experts or humans).
1. A method for image recognition, said method comprising:
an input device receiving a first image of an object;
an image analytics module receiving said first image of said object from said input device;
said image analytics module examining said first image of said object;
said image analytics module recognizing said object within said first image;
a processing module searching for one or more characteristic elements of said object among parameters associated with images deposited in one or more storages;
said processing module finding said one or more characteristic elements of said object within a second image among said parameters associated with said images deposited in said one or more storages;
said processing module determining a Z-valuation as a value of an attribute for said finding said one or more characteristic elements of said object within said second image;
a computer module determining a relevancy factor for said second image based on said Z-valuation, said first image, and said second image;
a processor determining a source associated with said second image;
said processor communicating with a ranking module, in regard to said relevancy factor for said second image and said second image.

17. A method for image recognition, said method comprising:
an input device receiving a first image of an object;
an image analytics module receiving said first image of said object from said input device;
said image analytics module examining said first image of said object;
said image analytics module recognizing said object within said first image;
a processing module searching for one or more characteristic elements of an item similar or related to said object among parameters associated with images deposited in one or more storages;
said processing module finding said one or more characteristic elements of said item similar or related to said object within a second image among said parameters associated with said images deposited in said one or more storages;
said processing module determining a Z-valuation as a value of an attribute for said finding said one or more characteristic elements of said item similar or related to said object within said second image;
a computer module determining a relevancy factor for said second image based on said Z-valuation, said first image, and said second image;
a processor determining a source associated with said second image;
said processor communicating with a ranking module, in regard to said relevancy factor for said second image and said second image.
18. The method for image recognition as recited in claim 17 , said method comprises:
