컴퓨터 비전에서 영상 매칭 기술은 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있는 기초적인 기술 중에 하나이다. 강인한 영상 매칭을 위해서는 정확하고 독특한 특징점을 검출하는 과정이 중요하다. 기존의 SIFT나 SURF 등 영상 매칭 알고리즘은 등방성 가우시안 필터링을 사용한 스케일 공간을 생성하여 특징점을 검출한다. 이러한 기존의 특징점 검출 방식은 스케일 공간에서 영상의 경계선을 모호하게 만들어 정확한 특징점 검출을 어렵게 만들고 영상 매칭의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SIFT 알고리즘의 강인한 특징점 검출을 위하여 양방향 필터링을 사용하여 스케일 공간 생성을 제안한다. 이러한 스케일 공간 생성 방식은 스케일 공간에서 영상의 경계선을 보존해 줌으로서 강인한 특징점 검출을 가능하게 하여 영상 매칭 성능을 향상시킨다. 특히 왜곡이 존재하는 영상들의 매칭에서 제안하는 특징점 검출 방법이 적용된 SIFT 알고리즘은 기존의 SIFT 알고리즘보다 우수한 영상 매칭 결과를 보여준다.

Object-based image matching algorithms have been widely used in the image processing and computer vision fields. A variety of applications based on image matching algorithms have been recently developed for object recognition, 3D modeling, video tracking, and biomedical informatics. One prominent example of image matching features is the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) scheme. However many applications using the SIFT algorithm have implemented based on stand-alone basis, not client-server architecture. In this paper, We initially implemented based on client-server structure by using SIFT algorithms to identify and match objects in biomedical images to provide useful information to the user based on the recently released Mobile platform. The major methodological contribution of this work is leveraging the convenient user interface and ubiquitous Internet connection on Mobile device for interactive delineation, segmentation, representation, matching and retrieval of biomedical images. With these technologies, our paper showcased examples of performing reliable image matching from different views of an object in the applications of semantic image search for biomedical informatics.

In computer vision, it is very important to obtain reliable corresponding feature points. However, we know it is not easy to find the corresponding feature points exactly considering by scaling, lighting, viewpoints, etc. Lots of SIFT methods applies the invariant to image scale and rotation and change in illumination, which is due to the feature vector extracted from corners or edges of object. However, SIFT could not find feature points, if edges do not exist in the area when we extract feature points along edges. In this paper, we present a new placement method of marker to improve the performance of SIFT feature detection and matching between different view of an object or scene. The shape of the markers used in the proposed method is formed in a semicircle to detect dominant direction vector by SIFT algorithm depending on direction placement of marker. We applied De Bruijn sequence for the markers direction placement to improve the matching performance. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more accurate and effective comparing to the current method.

효과적이고 정확한 물체인식은 컴퓨터 비전 연구 분야에 있어 매우 중요한 부분이다. 조명, 카메라 회전등의 외부환경의 변화에 의해 서로 다르게 획득되는 영상에 대해서도 강인하도록 동일한 특징점을 추출하고 매칭할 수 있는 방법으로 SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) 매칭이 많이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 기존의 SIFT기술자는 특징점 주변의 그레이만을 이용하여 기술하기 때문에 물체의 그레이정보가 유사하며 색상이 다르더라도 그레이정보만 유사할 경우에도 매칭되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 기본영역가 확장영역의 색상 히스토그램에 기반 한 기술자를 추가하여 오매칭에 대한 인식 성능을 향상 시키는 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose the automatic image-to-image registration of high resolution satellite images using local properties of tie points to improve the registration accuracy. A spatial distance between interest points of reference and sensed images extracted by Scale Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) is additionally used to extract tie points. Coefficients of affine transform between images are extracted by invariant descriptor based matching, and interest points of sensed image are transformed to the reference coordinate system using these coefficients. The spatial distance between interest points of sensed image which have been transformed to the reference coordinates and interest points of reference image is calculated for secondary matching. The piecewise linear function is applied to the matched tie points for automatic registration of high resolution images. The proposed method can extract spatially well-distributed tie points compared with SIFT based method.

본 논문에서는 문서 영상에서 글자 분할 및 인식이 필요 없는 단어 검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 글자 분할을 하지 않고 검색하기 위해 영상 검색에 사용되는 SIFT특징을 이용하였다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 사용자가 입력한 질의어를 질의 영상으로 변환하고, 질의 영상에서 SIFT특징을 추출한다. 추출된 특징은 문서영상에서 추출한 특징과 매칭을 통해 매칭점 쌍을 생성한다. 생성된 매칭점 쌍들을 군집화 조건에 따라 군집화 한다. 군집화는 질의 영상과 지리적 분포가 유사하게 군집화 되도록 설계되었다. 생성된 군집은 군집에 포함된 특징점의 개수가 많을수록 질의 영상과 유사하다. 따라서 N개 이상의 원소를 가지는 군집을 결과로 출력한다. 실험한 결과 제안하는 알고리즘의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) has been widely used in a lot of applications for image feature matching. Such a transform allows us to strong matching ability, stability in rotation, and scaling with the variety of different scales. Recently, it has been made one of the most successful algorithms in the research areas of copy-move forgery detections. Though this transform is capable of identifying copy-move forgery, it does not widely address the possibility that counter-forensics operations may be designed and used to hide the evidence of image tampering. In this paper, we propose a targeted counter-forensics method for impeding SIFT-based copy-move forgery detection by applying a semantically admissible distortion in the processing tool. The proposed method allows the attacker to delude a similarity matching process and conceal the traces left by a modification of SIFT keypoints, while maintaining a high fidelity between the processed images and original ones under the semantic constraints. The efficiency of the proposed method is supported by several experiments on the test images with various parameter settings.

본 논문에서는 비디오 제작 및 유통의 활성화에 따라 필요성이 높아지고 있는 장면 전환을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 유통 과정에서 해상도 변환, 자막 삽입, 압축, 영상 반전 등의 다양한 변형이 추가되더라도 동일하게 장면 전환을 검출해야 하므로 전처리 과정과 SIFT를 이용한 특징 추출, 변형을 고려한 매칭 방법을 이용하여 프레임 간의 매칭률을 계산한다. 또한 매칭률의 임계값을 기준으로 장면 전환 여부를 판단한다. 원본 비디오에서의 특징을 가지고 다양한 변형이 가해진 비디오에서의 특징과 매칭률을 계산하여 유효성을 판단한다.

This paper compares the combination performance of feature point-based matching algorithms as a study to confirm the matching possibility between image taken by a user and a virtual texture image with the goal of developing mobile-based real-time image positioning technology. The feature based matching algorithm includes process of extracting features, calculating descriptors, matching features from both images, and finally eliminating mismatched features. At this time, for matching algorithm combination, we combined the process of extracting features and the process of calculating descriptors in the same or different matching algorithm respectively. V-World 3D desktop was used for the virtual indoor texture image. Currently, V-World 3D desktop is reinforced with details such as vertical and horizontal protrusions and dents. In addition, levels with real image textures. Using this, we constructed dataset with virtual indoor texture data as a reference image, and real image shooting at the same location as a target image. After constructing dataset, matching success rate and matching processing time were measured, and based on this, matching algorithm combination was determined for matching real image with virtual image. In this study, based on the characteristics of each matching technique, the matching algorithm was combined and applied to the constructed dataset to confirm the applicability, and performance comparison was also performed when the rotation was additionally considered. As a result of study, it was confirmed that the combination of Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)'s feature and descriptor detection had the highest matching success rate, but matching processing time was longest. And in the case of Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST)'s feature detector and Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB)'s descriptor calculation, the matching success rate was similar to that of SIFT-SIFT combination, while matching processing time was short. Furthermore, in case of FAST-ORB, it was confirmed that the matching performance was superior even when 10° rotation was applied to the dataset. Therefore, it was confirmed that the matching algorithm of FAST-ORB combination could be suitable for matching between virtual texture image and real image.
