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

Unsupervised Template Learning for Fine-Grained Object Recognition
TL;DR: This work proposes a template model for the purpose of fine-grained recognition, which captures common shape patterns of object parts, as well as the cooccurrence relation of the shape patterns, and achieves significantly outperform the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Technical Section: An evaluation of descriptors for large-scale image retrieval from sketched feature lines
TL;DR: This work addresses the problem of fast, large scale sketch-based image retrieval, searching in a database of over one million images, and proposes two different approaches for which it is objectively evaluated that they significantly outperform existing approaches.

Monocular camera localization in 3D LiDAR maps
TL;DR: This work proposes a novel approach, which tracks the pose of monocular camera with respect to a given 3D LiDAR map, which employs a visual odometry system based on local bundle adjustment to reconstruct a sparse set of 3D points from image features.

A Study of Parts-Based Object Class Detection Using Complete Graphs
TL;DR: This work presents a practicable and expandable probabilistic framework for parts-based object class representation, enabling the detection of rigid and articulated object classes in arbitrary views and investigates learning of this representation from labelled training images and infer globally optimal solutions to the contextual MAP-detection problem.

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.
