SIFT Descriptor for Binary Shape Discrimination, Classification and Matching
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we study efficiency of SIFT descriptor in discrimination of binary shapes. We also analyze how the use of 2 − tuples of SIFT keypoints can affect discrimination of shapes. The study is divided into two parts, the first part serves as a primary analysis where we propose to compute overlap of classes using SIFT and a majority vote of keypoints. In the second part, we analyze both classification and matching of binary shapes using SIFT and Bag of Features. Our empirical study shows that SIFT although being considered as a texture feature, can be used to distinguish shapes in binary images and can be applied to the classification of foreground’s silhouettes.

New image descriptors based on color, texture, shape, and wavelets for object and scene image classification
This paper presents new image descriptors based on color, texture, shape, and wavelets for object and scene image classification. First, a new three Dimensional Local Binary Patterns (3D-LBP) descriptor, which produces three new color images, is proposed for encoding both color and texture information of an image. The 3D-LBP images together with the original color image then undergo the Haar wa...
متن کاملMBR-SIFT: A mirror reflected invariant feature descriptor using a binary representation for image matching
The traditional scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) method can extract distinctive features for image matching. However, it is extremely time-consuming in SIFT matching because of the use of the Euclidean distance measure. Recently, many binary SIFT (BSIFT) methods have been developed to improve matching efficiency; however, none of them is invariant to mirror reflection. To address these ...
متن کاملNew Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor
Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...
متن کاملCombined Descriptors in Spatial Pyramid Domain for Image Classification
Recently spatial pyramid matching (SPM) with scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) descriptor has been successfully used in image classification. Unfortunately, the codebook generation and feature quantization procedures using SIFT feature have the high complexity both in time and space. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose an approach which combines local binary patterns (LBP)...
متن کاملDescription of interest regions with local binary patterns
This paper presents a novel method for interest region description. We adopted the idea that the appearance of an interest region can be well characterized by the distribution of its local features. The most well-known descriptor built on this idea is the SIFT descriptor that uses gradient as the local feature. Thus far, existing texture features are not widely utilized in the context of region...
