An Improved Template Matching Method for Object Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an improved template matching method that combines both spatial and orientation information in a simple and effective way. The spatial information is obtained through a generalized distance transform (GDT) that weights the distance transform more on the strong edge pixels and the orientation information is represented as an orientation map (OM) which is calculated from local gradient. We applied the proposed method to detect humans, cars, and maple leaves from images. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method outperforms the existing template matching methods and is robust against cluttered background.

Evaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching
Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...
متن کاملReal-time Cascade Template Matching for Object Instance Detection
Object instance detection finds where a specific object instance is in an image or a video frame. It is a variation of object detection, but distinguished on two points. First, object detection focused on a category of object, while object instance detection focused on a specific object. For instance, object detection may work to find where toothpaste is in an image, while object instance detec...
متن کاملReal-Time Facial Feature Detection By Statistical Template Matching
This paper addresses a problem of robust, accurate and fast object detection in complex environments, such as cluttered backgrounds and low-quality images. A new method called Statistical Template Matching is proposed to detect objects, represented by a set of template regions. A similarity measure between the image and a template is derived from the Fisher criterion. We show how to apply our m...
متن کاملHierarchical Eigen Template Matching for Target Detection
The template matching is the basic technique of the object detection such as the defect inspection and OCR (Optical Character Recognition). It has a problem which requires a lot of computational time for detecting the XY displacement and the rotational angle of the target object. We have proposed the eigen template method for this problem. The proposed method can efficiently calculate correlati...
متن کاملObject Detection Based on Two Level Fast Matching
Shape template matching is an important approach in object detection and recognition. In this paper, we propose a fast and novel object detection method, which represents edge map contours with salient points and retrieves the target object by using a backtracking method with two stages from coarse matching to fine matching. Our method has two main contributions. One is we propose the way to re...
