On the consistency of the SIFT Method

چکیده
This note is devoted to the mathematical arguments proving that Lowe’s Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT [23]), a very successful image matching method, is indeed similarity invariant. The mathematical proof is given under the assumption that the gaussian smoothing performed by SIFT gives aliasing free sampling. The validity of this main assumption is confirmed by a rigorous experimental procedure. These results explain why SIFT outperforms all other image feature extraction methods when it comes to scale invariance.

متن کاملAttributed Graph Matching for Image-Features Association Using SIFT Descriptors
Image-features matching based on SIFT descriptors is subject to the misplacement of certain matches due to the local nature of the SIFT representations. Some well-known outlier rejectors aim to remove those misplaced matches by imposing geometrical consistency. We present two graph matching approaches (one continuous and one discrete) aimed at the matching of SIFT features in a geometrically co...

The Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) operator's success for computer vision applications makes it an attractive solution for the intricate feature based SAR image registration problem. For SAR images, SIFT feature matching results into lot of false alarms. To overcome the mentioned problem, we propose to use mutual information (MI) along with the SIFT operator for SAR image registration...

متن کاملA Similarity Measure Based on Geometric Consistency for Image Retrieval Using Local Descriptors
The content based image retrieval (CBIR) issue can be formulated as a problem of research in the primitive space. These primitives generally describe the similarity at the photometric level. In this work, we focus on the study of geometric consistency to measure the similarity between images in order to build an image retrieval system. In fact, we compute similarity by considering the geometric...
