TLDR
A suite of scale-invariant center-surround detectors (CenSurE) that outperform the other detectors, yet have better computational characteristics than other scale-space detectors, and are capable of real-time implementation are introduced.Abstract:
We explore the suitability of different feature detectors for the task of image registration, and in particular for visual odometry, using two criteria: stability (persistence across viewpoint change) and accuracy (consistent localization across viewpoint change). In addition to the now-standard SIFT, SURF, FAST, and Harris detectors, we introduce a suite of scale-invariant center-surround detectors (CenSurE) that outperform the other detectors, yet have better computational characteristics than other scale-space detectors, and are capable of real-time implementation.read more

Fast, Compact, and Discriminative: Evaluation of Binary Descriptors for Mobile Applications
Simone Madeo,Miroslaw Bober +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of several promising binary designs of local feature descriptors, showing that existing evaluation methodologies are not sufficient to fully characterize descriptors’ performance and proposing a new evaluation protocol and a challenging dataset.

Large scale monocular vision-only mapping from a fixed-wing sUAS
TL;DR: The robustness of unconstrained vision alone in producing reliable pose estimates of a sUAS, at altitude is demonstrated, ultimately capable of online state estimation feedback for aircraft control and next-best-view estimation for complete map coverage without the use of additional sensors.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

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.

A Combined Corner and Edge Detector
Chris Harris,Mike Stephens +1 more
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.

SURF: speeded up robust features
TL;DR: A novel scale- and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), which approximates or even outperforms previously proposed schemes with respect to repeatability, distinctiveness, and robustness, yet can be computed and compared much faster.

Robust real-time face detection
Paul A. Viola,Michael Jones +1 more
TL;DR: A new image representation called the “Integral Image” is introduced which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly and a method for combining classifiers in a “cascade” which allows background regions of the image to be quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising face-like regions.
