Matching Widely Separated Views Based on Affine Invariant Regions
Tinne Tuytelaars,Luc Van Gool +1 more
TL;DR: To increase the robustness of the system, two semi-local constraints on combinations of region correspondences are derived (one geometric, the other photometric) allow to test the consistency of correspondences and hence to reject falsely matched regions.

Abstract: ‘Invariant regions’ are self-adaptive image patches that automatically deform with changing viewpoint as to keep on covering identical physical parts of a scene. Such regions can be extracted directly from a single image. They are then described by a set of invariant features, which makes it relatively easy to match them between views, even under wide baseline conditions. In this contribution, two methods to extract invariant regions are presented. The first one starts from corners and uses the nearby edges, while the second one is purely intensity-based. As a matter of fact, the goal is to build an opportunistic system that exploits several types of invariant regions as it sees fit. This yields more correspondences and a system that can deal with a wider range of images. To increase the robustness of the system, two semi-local constraints on combinations of region correspondences are derived (one geometric, the other photometric). They allow to test the consistency of correspondences and hence to reject falsely matched regions. Experiments on images of real-world scenes taken from substantially different viewpoints demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.

Klas Josephson
- 01 Jan 2008
TL;DR: A new method for triangulation that guarantees that the globally optimal position is attained under the assumption of Gaussian noise in the image measurements is presented and several new minimal, geometric problems that have not been solved previously are presented.
Automated Semantic Content Extraction from Images
10 Jun 2022
TL;DR: In this article , an automatic semantic segmentation and object recognition methodology is implemented which bridges the semantic gap between low level features of image content and high level conceptual meaning, which is essential in modeling autonomous robots, targeting customers in marketing or reverse engineering of building information modeling in the construction industry.

Explore multiple clues for urban images matching
Quan Wang,Suya You +1 more

TL;DR: Many well-known existing image matching methods are based on local texture analysis, and consequently have difficulty handling low-textured 3D objects, such as those man-made buildings and road networks in urban scenes.

A Computational Approach to Edge Detection
TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.

Random sample consensus: a paradigm for model fitting with applications to image analysis and automated cartography
TL;DR: New results are derived on the minimum number of landmarks needed to obtain a solution, and algorithms are presented for computing these minimum-landmark solutions in closed form that provide the basis for an automatic system that can solve the Location Determination Problem under difficult viewing.

- 01 Jan 1988
TL;DR: The problem the authors are addressing in Alvey Project MMI149 is that of using computer vision to understand the unconstrained 3D world, in which the viewed scenes will in general contain too wide a diversity of objects for topdown recognition techniques to work.
Good features to track

TL;DR: A feature selection criterion that is optimal by construction because it is based on how the tracker works, and a feature monitoring method that can detect occlusions, disocclusions, and features that do not correspond to points in the world are proposed.
