Find where a small pattern image (a button, icon, logo or crop) appears inside a larger screenshot or picture, using OpenCV cv2.matchTemplate. Returns the best position, plus every non-overlapping position scoring above the threshold, as pixel boxes with scores. Use it for exact-looking pixel patterns at the same scale; for different scale, rotation or perspective use /v1/homography.
Match local features between a pattern image and a larger image: detects ORB or SIFT keypoints in both, matches them with a brute-force matcher and Lowe's ratio test (OpenCV BFMatcher.knnMatch), and returns the good matches as point pairs sorted by distance. Use it to see which parts of a pattern are present and where, even when the pattern is scaled or rotated; for the pattern's outline use /v1/homography.
Locate a pattern image inside a larger image even when it is scaled, rotated or viewed at an angle: ORB or SIFT feature matching plus cv2.findHomography with RANSAC. Returns whether it was found, the 3x3 homography (pattern pixels to image pixels), the four projected corners, the bounding box, and the inlier count as confidence. Use it to find a UI element, logo or object in a screenshot or photo.
