How to Overcome Perceptual Aliasing in ASIFT?

چکیده
SIFT is one of the most popular algorithms to extract points of interest from images. It is a scale+rotation invariant method. As a consequence, if one compares points of interest between two images subject to a large viewpoint change, then only a few, if any, common points will be retrieved. This may lead subsequent algorithms to failure, especially when considering structure and motion or object recognition problems. Reaching at least affine invariance is crucial for reliable point correspondences. Successful approaches have been recently proposed by several authors to strengthen scale+rotation invariance into affine invariance, using viewpoint simulation (e.g. the ASIFT algorithm). However, almost all resulting algorithms fail in presence of repeated patterns, which are common in man-made environments, because of the so-called perceptual aliasing. Focusing on ASIFT, we show how to overcome the perceptual aliasing problem. To the best of our knowledge, the resulting algorithm performs better than any existing generic point matching procedure.

Resolving Perceptual Aliasing In The Presence Of Noisy Sensors
Agents learning to act in a partially observable domain may need to overcome the problem of perceptual aliasing – i.e., different states that appear similar but require different responses. This problem is exacerbated when the agent’s sensors are noisy, i.e., sensors may produce different observations in the same state. We show that many well-known reinforcement learning methods designed to dea...
متن کاملThe Impact of Perceptual Aliasing on Exploration and Learning in a Dynamic Decision Making Task
Perceptual aliasing arises in situations where multiple, distinct states of the world give rise to the same percept. In this study, we examine how the degree of perceptual aliasing in a task impacts the ability of human agents to learn reward-maximizing decision strategies. Previous work has shown that the presence of perceptual cues that help signal distinct states of the environment can impro...

In the real world we usually have to rely upon what we can observe about our environment in order to judge our current state. Unfortunately our observations are inherently limited, and this can sometimes cause us to become confused and disorientated, losing track of exactly what state we are in. This confusion is called perceptual aliasing, and it occurs when our observations are not descriptiv...
متن کاملThe Impact of Perceptual Aliasing on Human Learning in a Dynamic Decision Making Task
A crucial problem facing both human and artificial RL agents is correctly perceiving, and interpreting, the current state of the environment. For instance, imagine a traveler staying in an unfamiliar hotel, with each floor and exit decorated identically. Based on perceptual information alone, this guest might experience difficulty learning how to navigate towards his room, since the various hal...
متن کاملA Study of an Indirect Reward on Multi-agent Environments
In a multi-agent learning where multiple agents are learning, there is a problem about an indirect reward that is how to distribute a reward to an agent that does not obtain a reward directly.We have shown the theorem [3] about ”negative effect” of an indirect reward. This paper focuses on the ”positive effect” of an indirect reward such as an elimination of the perceptual aliasing problem [1]....
