Robust Image Matching Preserving Global Consistency
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method for detecting point matches between two images. The main issue is how to preserve the global consistency of individual matches. Existing methods propagate local smoothness by relaxation or do combinatorial search for an optimal solution. Our method imposes non-local constraints that should be approximately satisfied across the image. We define the “confidence” of such “soft constraints” to all potential matches. The confidence is progressively updated by “mean-field approximation”. Finally, the “hard” epipolar constraint is imposed by RANSAC. Using real images, we demonstrate that our method is robust to camera rotations and zooming changes.

Robust Face Image Matching under Illumination Variations
Face image matching is an essential step for face recognition and face verification. It is difficult to achieve robust face matching under various image acquisition conditions. In this paper, a novel face image matching algorithm robust against illumination variations is proposed. The proposed image matching algorithm is motivated by the characteristics of high image gradient along the face con...
متن کاملA Locally Linear Regression Model for Boundary Preserving Regularization in Stereo Matching
We propose a novel regularization model for stereo matching that uses large neighborhood windows. The model is based on the observation that in a local neighborhood there exists a linear relationship between pixel values and disparities. Compared to the traditional boundary preserving regularization models that use adjacent pixels, the proposed model is robust to image noise and captures higher...

In this paper, we present a new framework for geo-locating an image utilizing a novel multiple nearest neighbor featurematching method using Generalized Minimum Clique Graphs (GMCP). First, we extract local features (e.g. SIFT) from the queryimage and retrieve a number of nearest neighbors for each query feature from the reference dataset. Next, we apply our GMCP-based feature match...
