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

Online and Incremental Appearance-based SLAM in Highly Dynamic Environments
TL;DR: A novel method for online and incremental appearance-based localization and mapping in a highly dynamic environment using position-invariant robust features (PIRFs) that can achieve a high rate of recall with 100% precision is presented.

A Method for Counting People in Crowded Scenes
TL;DR: The proposed technique is based on a trainable estimator that does not require an explicit formulation of a priori knowledge about the perspective and density effects present in the scene at hand, and improves the accuracy, while retaining the robustness of the indirect approach.

Automatic Annotation of Satellite Images via Multifeature Joint Sparse Coding With Spatial Relation Constraint
TL;DR: A spatial-relation-constrained classifier is designed to utilize the output of MFJSC and the spatial dependences to annotate images more precisely and Experiments on a data set of 21 land-use classes and QuickBird images show the discriminative power of MF JSC andThe effectiveness of the annotation framework.

Globally optimal consensus set maximization through rotation search
TL;DR: This paper considers a rotation model and presents a new approach that performs consensus set maximization in a mathematically guaranteed globally optimal way and can be applied for various computer vision tasks such as panoramic image stitching, 3D registration with a rotating range sensor and line clustering and vanishing point estimation.

Video stabilization based on a 3D perspective camera model
TL;DR: This paper presents a novel approach to stabilize video sequences based on a 3D perspective camera model that uses approximate geometry representation and analyze the resulting warping errors to show that by appropriately constraining warping error, visually plausible results can be achieved even using planar structures.

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.
