Bivariate Feature Localization for SIFT Assuming a Gaussian Feature Shape
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the well-known SIFT detector is extended with a bivariate feature localization. This is done by using function models that assume a Gaussian feature shape for the detected features. As function models we propose (a) a bivariate Gaussian and (b) a Difference of Gaussians. The proposed detector has all properties of SIFT, but provides invariance to affine transformations and blurring. It shows superior performance for strong viewpoint changes compared to the original SIFT. Compared to the most accurate affine invariant detectors, it provides competitive results for the standard test scenarios while performing superior in case of motion blur in video sequences.

Global Robot Localization using Iterative Scale Invariant Feature Transform
We propose an approach that can reduce the feature extraction time of the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). The main idea is to search for the keypoints around a set of randomly generated particles rather than to perform exhaustive search in the whole difference of Gaussian pyramid. The proposed approach makes it possible to define the required number of keypoints in advance. A relation...
متن کاملOn the consistency of the SIFT Method
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 ...

We study automatic localization and identification of African clawed frogs (Xenopus Laevis sp.) in digital images taken in a laboratory environment. We propose a novel and stable frog body localization and skin pattern window extraction algorithm. We show that it compensates scale and rotation changes very well. Moreover, it is able to localize and extract highly overlapping regions (pattern wi...
متن کاملDetection of Multiple Deformable Objects using PCA-SIFT
In this paper, we address the problem of identifying and localizing multiple instances of highly deformable objects in real-time video data. We present an approach which uses PCA-SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) in combination with a clustered voting scheme to achieve detection and localization of multiple objects while providing robustness against rapid shape deformation, partial occlu...
