Scale Invariant Feature Transform with Irregular Orientation Histogram Binning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) descriptor is a widely used method for matching image features. However, perfect scale invariance can not be achieved in practice because of sampling artefacts, noise in the image data, and the fact that the computational effort limits the number of analyzed scale space images. In this paper we propose a modification of the descriptor’s regular grid of orientation histogram bins to an irregular grid. The irregular grid approach reduces the negative effect of scale error and significantly increases the matching precision for image features. Results with a standard data set are presented that show that the irregular grid approach outperforms the original SIFT descriptor and other state-of-the-art extentions.

Assigning Main Orientation to an EOH Descriptor on Multispectral Images
This paper proposes an approach to compute an EOH (edge-oriented histogram) descriptor with main orientation. EOH has a better matching ability than SIFT (scale-invariant feature transform) on multispectral images, but does not assign a main orientation to keypoints. Alternatively, it tends to assign the same main orientation to every keypoint, e.g., zero degrees. This limits EOH to matching ke...
متن کاملScale Invariant Feature Transform for n - Dimensional Images ( n - SIFT ) Release
This document describes the implementation of several features previously developed[2], extending the 2D scale invariant feature transform (SIFT)[4, 5] for images of arbitrary dimensionality, such as 3D medical image volumes and time series, using ITK1. Specifically, we provide a scale invariant implementation of a weighted histogram of gradient feature, a rotationally invariant version of the ...
متن کاملLocal Image Descriptor using VQ-SIFT for Image Retrieval
In this paper, we present local image descriptor using VQ-SIFT for more effective and efficient image retrieval. Instead of SIFT's weighted orientation histograms, we apply vector quantization (VQ) histogram as an alternate representation for SIFT features. Experimental results show that SIFT features using VQ-based local descriptors can achieve better image retrieval accuracy than the conventi...
متن کاملDetection of Copy-Move Forgery in Digital Images Using Scale Invariant Feature Transform Algorithm and the Spearman Relationship
Increased popularity of digital media and image editing software has led to the spread of multimedia content forgery for various purposes. Undoubtedly, law and forensic medicine experts require trustworthy and non-forged images to enforce rights. Copy-move forgery is the most common type of manipulation of digital images. Copy-move forgery is used to hide an area of the image or to repeat a por...
متن کاملBiologically Motivated Perceptual Feature: Generalized Robust Invariant Feature
In this paper, we present a new, biologically inspired perceptual feature to solve the selectivity and invariance issue in object recognition. Based on the recent findings in neuronal and cognitive mechanisms in human visual systems, we develop a computationally efficient model. An effective form of a visual part detector combines a radial symmetry detector with a corner-like structure detector...
