This paper proposes an efficient matching algorithm based on ASIFT (Affine Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) which is fully invariant to affine transformation. In our approach, we proposed a method of reducing similar measure matching cost and the number of outliers. First, we combined the Manhattan and Chessboard metrics replacing the Euclidean metric by a linear combination for measuring the similarity of keypoints. These two metrics are simple but really efficient. Using our method the computation time for matching step was saved and also the number of correct matches was increased. By applying an Optimized Random Sampling Algorithm (ORSA), we can remove most of the outlier matches to make the result meaningful. This method was experimented on various combinations of affine transform. The experimental result shows that our method is superior to SIFT and ASIFT.

파노라마 영상은 여러 장의 겹쳐지는 영상을 하나의 큰 영상으로 병합하여 만들어진다. 그 방법에는 크게 특징 기반 방법과 직접 방법의 두 종류가 있으며, 특징 기반 방법은 직접 방법에 비해 처리 속도가 빠른 장점이 있다. 그러나 모바일 단말기와 같은 처리속도가 느린 환경에서 구현하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속 파노라마 영상 생성 방법을 제안하였다 이 방법은 촬영 장면 가이더를 적용함으로써 정합 파라미터의 개수를 줄여 정합속도를 크게 향상시켰다. 또한, 적은 수의 파라미터 사용에 따른 정합 오차를 줄이기 위해 국소 정합법을 추가로 적용하였다. 실험에서, $320{\times}240$ 크기의 24비트 칼라 영상에 대해 약 0.078초의 처리속도로 기존의 특징 기반 방법보다 처리속도 면에서 약 17배의 처리 속도 개선을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a new method for content-based retrieval system using wavelet transform and correlation, which has were used in signal processing and image compressing. The matching method is used not perfect matching but similar matching. Used feature vector is the lowest frequency(LL) itself, energy value, and edge information of 4-layer, after computng a 4-layer 2-D fast wavelet transform on image. By the proosed algorithm, we got the result that was faste rand more accurate than the traditional algorithm. Because used feature vector was compressed 256:1 over original image, retrieval speed was highly improved. By using correlation, moving object with size variation was reterieved without additional feature information.

Drone has been widely used for many applications ranging from amateur and leisure to professionals to get fast and accurate 3-D information of the surface of the interest. Most of commercial softwares developed for this purpose are performing automatic matching based on SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) or SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features) using nadir-looking stereo image sets. Since, there are some situations where not only nadir and nadir-looking matching, but also nadir and oblique-looking matching is needed, the existing software for the latter case could not get good results. In this study, a matching experiment was performed to utilize images with differences in geometry. Nadir and oblique-looking images were acquired through drone for a total of 2 times. SIFT, SURF, which are feature point-based, and IMAS (Image Matching by Affine Simulation) matching techniques based on affine transformation were applied. The experiment was classified according to the identity of the geometry, and the presence or absence of a building was considered. Images with the same geometry could be matched through three matching techniques. However, for image sets with different geometry, only the IMAS method was successful with and without building areas. It was found that when performing matching for use of images with different geometry, the affine transformation-based matching technique should be applied.

본 논문은 특징검출(feature detection)과 특징해석(feature description) 기법을 이용하여, 영상 매칭 (matching)과 인식(recognition)에 필요한 다양한 파라미터의 변화에 따른 인식률의 차이를 분석하기 위한 실험 내용을 다룬다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 특징분석과 매칭프로세스를 위해, Lowe의 SIFT(Scale-Invariant Transform Feature)를 이용하며, 영상에서 나타나는 특징을 검출하고 해석하여 특징 데이터베이스로 구축한다. 특징 데이터베이스는 구글 어스를 통해 획득한 위성영상으로부터 50여개 건물에 대해 구축되는데, 이는 각 건물 영상으로부터 추출된 특징 점들의 좌표와 128차원의 벡터의 값으로 이루어진 특징 해석데이터로 저장된다. 구축된 데이터베이스는 각 건물에 대한 정보가 태그의 형식으로 함께 저장되는데, 이는 카메라로부터 획득한 입력영상과의 비교를 통해 입력영상이 가리키는 지역 내에 존재하는 건물에 대한 정보를 제공하는 역할을 한다. 실험은 영상 매칭과 인식과정에서 작용하는 내-외부적 요소들을 제시하고, 각 요소의 상태변화에 따라 인식률의 차이를 비교하는 방법으로 진행되었으며, 본 연구의 최종적인 시스템은 모바일기기의 카메라를 이용하여 카메라가 촬영하고 있는 지도상의 객체를 인식하고, 해당 객체에 대한 기본적인 정보를 제공할 수 있다.

The Hartley transform based feature extraction method is proposed for fingerprint matching. Hartley transform is applied on a smaller region that has been cropped around the core point. The performance of this proposed method is evaluated based on the standard database of Bologna University and the database of the FVC2002. We used the city block distance to compute the similarity between the test fingerprint and database fingerprint image. The results obtained are compared with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based method. The experimental results show that, the proposed method reduces the false acceptance rate (FAR) from 21.48% to 16.74 % based on the database of Bologna University and from 31.29% to 28.69% based on the FVC2002 database.

In this work a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based feature dimensionality reduced approach for fingerprint matching is proposed. The DCT is applied on a small region around the core point of fingerprint image. The performance of our proposed method is evaluated on a small database of Bologna University and two large databases of FVC2000. A dimensionally reduced feature vector is formed using only approximately 19%, 7%, and 6% DCT coefficients for the three databases from Bologna University and FVC2000, respectively. We compared the results of our proposed method with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method, the rotated wavelet filters (RWFs) method, and a combination of DWT+RWF and DWT+(HL+LH) subbands of RWF. The proposed method reduces the false acceptance rate from approximately 18% to 4% on DB1 (Database of Bologna University), approximately 29% to 16% on DB2 (FVC2000), and approximately 26% to 17% on DB3 (FVC2000) over the DWT based feature extraction method.

We propose a clustering based object feature matching for identification of same object in multi-camera system. The method is focused on ease to system initialization and extension. Clustering is used to estimate parameters of Gaussian mixture models of objects. A similarity measure between models are determined by Kullback-Leibler divergence. This method can be applied to occlusion problem in tracking.

This paper describes a new feature based tracking system that can track moving objects with a pan-tilt camera. We extract corner features of the scene and tracks the features using filtering, The global motion energy caused by camera movement is eliminated by finding the maximal matching position between consecutive frames using Pyramidal template matching. The region of moving object is segmented by clustering the motion trajectories and command the pan-tilt controller to follow the object such that the object will always lie at the center of the camera. The proposed system has demonstrated good performance for several video sequences.

This paper proposes an efficient and yet powerful local descriptor called phase-space partition based descriptor (PPD). This descriptor is designed for the mobile image matching and retrieval. PPD, which is inspired from SIFT, also encodes the salient aspects of the image gradient in the neighborhood around an interest point. However, without employing SIFT's smoothed gradient orientation histogram, we apply the region based gradient statistics in phase space to the construction of a feature representation, which allows to reduce much computation requirements. The feature matching experiments demonstrate that PPD achieves favorable performance close to that of SIFT and faster building and matching. We also present results showing that the use of PPD descriptors in a mobile image retrieval application results in a comparable performance to SIFT.
