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.Abstract:
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. The features are invariant to image scale and rotation, and are shown to provide robust matching across a substantial range of affine distortion, change in 3D viewpoint, addition of noise, and change in illumination. The features are highly distinctive, in the sense that a single feature can be correctly matched with high probability against a large database of features from many images. This paper also describes an approach to using these features for object recognition. The recognition proceeds by matching individual features to a database of features from known objects using a fast nearest-neighbor algorithm, followed by a Hough transform to identify clusters belonging to a single object, and finally performing verification through least-squares solution for consistent pose parameters. This approach to recognition can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.read more

Photo tourism: exploring photo collections in 3D
TL;DR: This work presents a system for interactively browsing and exploring large unstructured collections of photographs of a scene using a novel 3D interface that consists of an image-based modeling front end that automatically computes the viewpoint of each photograph and a sparse 3D model of the scene and image to model correspondences.

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.

PCA-SIFT: a more distinctive representation for local image descriptors
Yan Ke,Rahul Sukthankar +1 more
TL;DR: This paper examines (and improves upon) the local image descriptor used by SIFT, and demonstrates that the PCA-based local descriptors are more distinctive, more robust to image deformations, and more compact than the standard SIFT representation.

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.
