Do We Really Have to Consider Covariance Matrices for Image Feature Points?

چکیده
We first describe in a unified way how to compute the covariance matrix from the gray levels of the image. We then experimentally investigate whether or not the computed covariance matrix actually reflects the accuracy of the feature position by doing subpixel correction using variable template matching. We also test if the accuracy of the homography and the fundamental matrix can really be improved by optimization using the covariance matrix computed from the gray levels. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Level set segmentation using image second order statistics
This paper proposes a novel level set based image segmentation method by use of image second statistics and logarithmic Euclidean metric. Different from previous tensor based image segmentation approaches, the proposed method adopts covariance feature as region-level descriptor rather than pixel-level one. On the basis of feature image, we utilize second order statistics of image feature, i.e.,...

Feature extraction performs an important role in improving hyperspectral image classification. Compared with parametric methods, nonparametric feature extraction methods have better performance when classes have no normal distribution. Besides, these methods can extract more features than what parametric feature extraction methods do. Nonparametric feature extraction methods use nonparametric s...

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...

Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrices for multivariate Burr III and logistic distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in price and income distributions, reliability, economics, Human population, some biological organisms to model agricultural population data and survival data. We showed that ...
