Affine Invariant Interesting Descriptors

چکیده
Component trees or level set graphs have proved to be efficient tools for the extraction of stable features in many image analysis and understanding applications. In this paper, we explore the relation between level sets as feature descriptors and curvature scale-space. While most classical image feature detectors are based on linear scale-space, affine-invariant descriptors can be related to the curvature scale-space, in which closed level sets vanish at time proportional to their area and the connectedness is preserved. We provide observations about the affine invariance of objects in an image and design a framework for extracting more informative invariant features.

Robust Affine Invariant Descriptors
An approach is developed for the extraction of affine invariant descriptors by cutting object into slices. Gray values associated with every pixel in each slice are summed up to construct affine invariant descriptors. As a result, these descriptors are very robust to additive noise. In order to establish slices of correspondence between an object and its affine transformed version, general cont...
متن کاملRecognition of Affine Distorted Characters by Using Affine-Invariant Local Descriptors
Camera-based character recognition has a possibility to realize a variety of applications and has been paid attention. However, character images are often taken from different angles and characters tend to be distorted. In such a case, recognition accuracy becomes worse. Therefore, we must find some methods to deal with this problem. In this paper, we experimentally evaluate some affine-invaria...
متن کاملContour Retrieval and Matching by Affine Invariant Fourier Descriptors
In the image plane, a 3 Dimensional movement of planar rigid object can be represented satisfactory by an affine motion of his boundary (the exterior contour) which we assume to be closed. The object movement can be described by a special affine transformation of the plane IR 2 . The extraction of invariant features under affinities is important in such procedure. Recently we have proposed a ne...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Local Descriptors for Affine Invariant Region Detector
Local feature descriptors are widely used in many computer vision applications. Over the past couple of decades, several local feature descriptors have been proposed which are robust to challenging conditions. Since they show different characteristics in different environment, it is necessary to evaluate their performance in an intensive and consistent manner. However, there has been no relevan...
متن کاملFAI: Fast Affine Invariant Features Detection and Descriptor Extraction
Invariant feature detectors and descriptors are a common tool now for many computer vision tasks. Recently, fast and efficient variants such as BRISK were developed to offset the computational burden of traditional invariant descriptors such as SIFT. A common thread in invariant descriptors is affine invariance which improves matching performance in large baseline situations. In this work we de...
