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

Brian 2.1: A socially assistive robot for the elderly and cognitively impaired
TL;DR: The number of older adults who have difficulties performing self-care and independent-living activities increases significantly with the prevalence of cognitive impairment, and the total worldwide cost of dementia was estimated to be US$604 billion in 2010.

Efficient classification with sparsity augmented collaborative representation
TL;DR: It is shown that sparseness explicitly contributes to improved classification, hence it should not be completely ignored for computational gains and an efficient classification method is proposed based on combined representation based on dense and sparse representation.

POP: Privacy-Preserving Outsourced Photo Sharing and Searching for Mobile Devices
TL;DR: This work introduces a framework POP, which enables privacy-seeking mobile device users to outsource burdensome photo sharing and searching safely to untrusted servers and is compatible with the state-of-the-art image search techniques, and it requires few changes to existing cloud systems.

A Rotating Machinery Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Feature Learning of Thermal Images
TL;DR: A popular image feature extraction method is applied into the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery based on IRT for the first time, and the results demonstrate that the developed method is more effective than the traditional methods based on vibration signals.

Real-time multi-modal rigid registration based on a novel symmetric-SIFT descriptor
Jian Chen,Jie Tian +1 more
TL;DR: A novel Symmetric Scale Invariant Feature Transform (symmetric-SIFT) descriptor is proposed and developed, which works with near real-time performance, and can deal with the large non-overlapping and large initial misalignment situations.

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.
