TLDR
A novel and fast multiscale feature detection and description approach that exploits the benefits of nonlinear scale spaces and introduces a Modified-Local Difference Binary (M-LDB) descriptor that is highly efficient, exploits gradient information from the non linear scale space, is scale and rotation invariant and has low storage requirements.
Abstract
We propose a novel and fast multiscale feature detection and description approach that exploits the benefits of nonlinear scale spaces. Previous attempts to detect and describe features in nonlinear scale spaces such as KAZE [1] and BFSIFT [6] are highly time consuming due to the computational burden of creating the nonlinear scale space. In this paper we propose to use recent numerical schemes called Fast Explicit Diffusion (FED) [3, 4] embedded in a pyramidal framework to dramatically speed-up feature detection in nonlinear scale spaces. In addition, we introduce a Modified-Local Difference Binary (M-LDB) descriptor that is highly efficient, exploits gradient information from the nonlinear scale space, is scale and rotation invariant and has low storage requirements. Our features are called Accelerated-KAZE (A-KAZE) due to the dramatic speed-up introduced by FED schemes embedded in a pyramidal framework.

Multimodal Object Categorization with Reduced User Load through Human-Robot Interaction in Mixed Reality

TL;DR: In this article , a human-robot interface to reduce the burden on the user by visualizing the inferred results in mixed reality (MR) was proposed, which significantly reduced the temporal, physical, and mental burden on human users compared to speech interaction with the robot.

Detecting Keypoints for Automated Annotation of Bounding Boxes using Keypoint Extraction

TL;DR: In this article, the keypoints to identify object regions in pictures are extracted, which can then be used for drawing bounding boxes automatically, thus, reducing manual labor requirements, and the proposed method is used for pictures of road signs, keypoints that identify road sign regions in the pictures are detected.

Beyond homography: nonparametric image alignment via graph convolutional networks

TL;DR: A novel nonparametric transformation model based on graph convolutional networks without an explicit geometric constraint is proposed, which is generic and flexible in the sense that it is applicable to the image pairs undergoing diverse local and/or global transformations.

Visual search guided by an efficient top-down attention approach

TL;DR: A method to guide the visual search towards a searched object, analogously to what is performed by the top-down visual attention mechanism, by prioritizing scene descriptors based on their Hamming distance to the descriptor of the target.

Hallucinating Scenes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system that takes low-resolution panoramic video frames as the input, extracts geometric information as the reference, and produces high resolution panoramas of the scene as the output.

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.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: 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.

SURF: speeded up robust features

TL;DR: A novel scale- and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), which approximates or even outperforms previously proposed schemes with respect to repeatability, distinctiveness, and robustness, yet can be computed and compared much faster.

Scale-space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion

TL;DR: A new definition of scale-space is suggested, and a class of algorithms used to realize a diffusion process is introduced, chosen to vary spatially in such a way as to encourage intra Region smoothing rather than interregion smoothing.

ORB: An efficient alternative to SIFT or SURF

TL;DR: This paper proposes a very fast binary descriptor based on BRIEF, called ORB, which is rotation invariant and resistant to noise, and demonstrates through experiments how ORB is at two orders of magnitude faster than SIFT, while performing as well in many situations.
