Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
TLDR
The Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (or SIFT) algorithm is a highly robust method to extract and consequently match distinctive invariant features from images that can then be used to reliably match objects in diering images.Abstract:
The Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (or SIFT) algorithm is a highly robust method to extract and consequently match distinctive invariant features from images. These features can then be used to reliably match objects in diering images. The algorithm was rst proposed by Lowe [12] and further developed to increase performance resulting in the classic paper [13] that served as foundation for SIFT which has played an important role in robotic and machine vision in the past decade.read more

Hierarchical matching with side information for image classification
TL;DR: A hierarchical matching framework with so-called side information for image classification based on bag-of-words representation and two exemplar algorithms based on two types of side information: object confidence map and visual saliency map, from object detection priors and within-image contexts respectively are designed.

Learning Discriminative and Shareable Features for Scene Classification
TL;DR: The experimental results on three challenging scene image classification datasets indicate that the learned filters can achieve very promising performance, and show great complementary effect to the state-of-the-art ConvNets feature.

Detecting Avocados to Zucchinis: What Have We Done, and Where Are We Going?
TL;DR: A large-scale study on the Image Net Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge data, inspired by the recent work of Hoiem et al, shows that this dataset provides many of the same detection challenges as the PASCAL VOC.

Image based detection of geometric changes in urban environments
TL;DR: The proposed algorithm is designed to specifically detect only structural changes in the environment, ignoring any changes in its appearance, and ignoring also all the changes which are not relevant for update purposes, such as cars, people etc.

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.

Object recognition from local scale-invariant features
TL;DR: Experimental results show that robust object recognition can be achieved in cluttered partially occluded images with a computation time of under 2 seconds.

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.

A performance evaluation of local descriptors
TL;DR: It is observed that the ranking of the descriptors is mostly independent of the interest region detector and that the SIFT-based descriptors perform best and Moments and steerable filters show the best performance among the low dimensional descriptors.

Robust wide-baseline stereo from maximally stable extremal regions
TL;DR: The high utility of MSERs, multiple measurement regions and the robust metric is demonstrated in wide-baseline experiments on image pairs from both indoor and outdoor scenes.
