چکیده

In this paper, we propose a novel edge gradient based template matching method for object detection. In contrast to other methods, ours does not perform any binarization or discretization during the online matching. This is facilitated by a new continuous edge gradient similarity measure. Its main components are a novel edge gradient operator, which is applied to query and template images, and the formulation as a convolution, which can be computed very efficiently in Fourier space. We compared our method to a state-of-the-art chamfer based matching method. The results demonstrate that our method is much more robust against weak edge response and yields much better confidence maps with fewer maxima that are also more significant. In addition, our method lends itself well to efficient implementation on GPUs: at a query image resolution of 320 × 256 and a template resolution of 80× 80 we can generate about 330 confidence maps per second.

Subpixel Line Extraction Based on Blurred Edge Model and Adaptive Least Square Template Matching

Linear features such as hydrological object boundaries, roads and the boundary of other man made objects are very important for geospatial information extraction/analysis from remotely sensed imagery. This paper deals with subpixel accuracy extraction of linear features. Least square template matching (LSTM) is adopted as the computational tool to fit the linear feature with a scalable slope ed...

Automatic 3D Reconstruction via Object Detection and 3D Transformable Model Matching CS 269 Class Project Report

In this report, we present a system that can automatically detect and 3D reconstruct the target objects. After the reconstruction, users can edit the image by scaling, translating, rotating and deleting the target objects. The system consists of three parts. The first part is the detection part. We use HOG (Histogram of Gradient) template matching for detection and adopt sliding window strategy...
