Hi. I try to find a object in a picture. I tiried the openCV Example: Features2D + Homography to find a known object (http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/features2d/feature_homography/feature_homography.html)

This works quiet well. My Idea is to have some pictures saved as template. Now I turn the Camera in space to detect this features.

Now I'm asking myself 1.) how can I measure that this object has been found? 2.) How can I measure the confidence, that this is the correct object found?

Thanks in advance

Try these steps:

extract features and match them (FLANN is more suitable in most cases by the way)
compute a homography via RANSAC
warp your scene image into the direction of your pattern
compute a similarity measure between both images (if the warp was correct,they have the same dimension). You can use a normalized cross correlation or a correlation coefficient for example.
