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

Object cosegmentation
TL;DR: This paper adds two new aspects to cosegmentation: “something” has to be an object, and the “similarity” measure is learned, and is able to achieve excellent results on the recently introduced iCoseg dataset.

A Photogrammetric Workflow for the Creation of a Forest Canopy Height Model from Small Unmanned Aerial System Imagery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used combined photogrammetry and Structure from Motion (SfM) approaches to model the forest canopy surface from low-altitude aerial images. And they used the open source and free photogrammetric toolbox, MICMAC (acronym for multi image matches for Auto Correlation Methods), to create a digital canopy surface model of deciduous stands.

TL;DR: In this paper, a single hand-held consumer-grade RGB-D sensor at real-time rates is used to reconstruct dynamic geometric shapes using a set of sparse color features in combination with a dense depth constraint.

Novel Visual and Statistical Image Features for Microblogs News Verification
TL;DR: This paper explores the key role of image content in the task of automatic news verification on microblogs and proposes several visual and statistical features to characterize these patterns visually and statistically for detecting fake news.

Energy-Based Geometric Multi-model Fitting
Hossam Isack,Yuri Boykov +1 more
TL;DR: The proposed PEaRL combines model sampling from data points as in RANSAC with iterative re-estimation of inliers and models’ parameters based on a global regularization functional and converges to a good quality local minimum of the energy automatically selecting a small number of models that best explain the whole data set.

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

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.
