Table 1.

Estimates of overall required processing time (hours) with manual and computer‐assisted matching, for different database sizes N. We assumed the manual preprocessing takes 30 s per image and a manual comparison takes 1 s. With computer aided matching, the top 10 ranking images are reviewed
