Ok,

Apologies for the lack of clarity.

Basically I am trying to develop a new algorithm that can be used for
the RoboCup soccer competition. The basics of it is that there will be
a database of possible images that the robot could see, and I want to
match what the robot actually sees with its match in the database.
(The database images will have information attached to it that will
tell the Robot where it is located on the pitch)

However, to take absolutely every possibility would mean millions of
images, but I'm sure it is possible for images that are very similar,
but may have been taken at a slightly different angle, or taken from
very close to, but not exactly the same location, to be matched. But I
don't know how I might go about doing this.

Hope that makes more sense.
