Permutable Descriptors for Orientation-Invariant Image Matching
نویسندگان
چکیده
Orientation-invariant feature descriptors are widely used for image matching. We propose a new method of computing and comparing Histogram of Gradients (HoG) descriptors which allows for re-orientation through permutation. We do so by moving the orientation processing to the distance comparison, rather than the descriptor computation. This improves upon prior work by increasing spatial distinctiveness. Our method method allows for very fast descriptor computation, which is advantageous since many mobile applications of HoG descriptors require fast descriptor computation on hand-held devices.

Keypoint descriptor matching with context-based orientation estimation
This paper presents a matching strategy to improve the discriminative power of histogram-based keypoint descriptors by constraining the range of allowable dominant orientations according to the context of the scene under observation. This can be done when the descriptor uses a circular grid and quantized orientation steps, by computing or providing a global reference orientation based on the fe...
متن کاملA New RSTB Invariant Image Template Matching Based on Log-Spectrum and Modified ICA
Template matching is a widely used technique in many of image processing and machine vision applications. In this paper we propose a new as well as a fast and reliable template matching algorithm which is invariant to Rotation, Scale, Translation and Brightness (RSTB) changes. For this purpose, we adopt the idea of ring projection transform (RPT) of image. In the proposed algorithm, two novel s...
متن کاملInvariant Shape Matching for Detection of Semi-local Image Structures
Shape features applied to object recognition has been actively studied since the beginning of the field in 1950s and remain a viable alternative to appearance based methods e.g. local descriptors. This work address the problem of learning and detecting repeatable shape structures in images that may be incomplete, contain noise and/or clutter as well as vary in scale and orientation. A new appro...
متن کاملS-SIFT: A Shorter SIFT without Least Discriminative Visual Orientation
Detection and description of local features are a classical problem in image processing and multimedia content analysis. Based on the inhomogeneity of visual orientation in human visual system, we propose a novel algorithm S-SIFT to detect and describe local image features. In three stages of SSIFT, the information from the least discriminability orientation is omitting. Compared with the stand...
متن کاملImage Descriptors Based on Curvature Histograms
Descriptors based on orientation histograms are widely used in computer vision. The spatial pooling involved in these representations provides important invariance properties, yet it is also responsible for the loss of important details. In this paper, we suggest a way to preserve the details described by the local curvature. We propose a descriptor that comprises the direction and magnitude of...
