As for the unsatisfactory accuracy caused by SIFT (scale-invariant feature transform) in complicated image matching, a novel matching method on multiple layered strategies is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the coarse data sets are filtered by Euclidean distance. Next, geometric feature consistency constraint is adopted to refine the corresponding feature points, discarding the points with uncoordinated slope values. Thirdly, scale and orientation clustering constraint method is proposed to precisely choose the matching points. The scale and orientation differences are employed as the elements ofk-means clustering in the method. Thus, two sets of feature points and the refined data set are obtained. Finally, 3 * delta rule of the refined data set is used to search all the remaining points. Our multiple layered strategies make full use of feature constraint rules to improve the matching accuracy of SIFT algorithm. The proposed matching method is compared to the traditional SIFT descriptor in various tests. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the traditional SIFT algorithm with respect to correction ratio and repeatability.

Image Matching is a key technology in the intelligent navigation system for the blind, which is based on the computer video. The images of moving blind people, collected at real time, have variety of changes in light, rotation, scaling, etc. Against this feature, we propose a practical matching algorithm, which is based on the SIFT (Scale Invariant, Feature Transform). That is the image matching algorithm. We focus on the algorithm of the SIFT feature extraction and matching, and obtain the feature points of the image through feature extraction algorithm. We verify the effect of the algorithm by selecting practical images with rotation, scaling and different light. The result is that this method can get better matches for the blind road environmental image.

Scale Invariant Feature

A novel perspective invariant image matching framework is proposed in this paper, noted as Perspective-Invariant Binary Robust Independent Elementary Features (PBRIEF). First, we use the homographic transformation to simulate the distortion between two corresponding patches around the feature points. Then, binary descriptors are constructed by comparing the intensity of sample points surrounding the feature location. We transform the location of the sample points with simulated homographic matrices. This operation is to ensure that the intensities which we compared are the realistic corresponding pixels between two image patches. Since the exact perspective transform matrix is unknown, an Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm-based iterative procedure is proposed to estimate the real transformation angles. Experimental results obtained on five different datasets show that PBRIEF outperforms significantly the existing methods on images with large viewpoint difference. Moreover, the efficiency of our framework is also improved comparing with Affine-Scale Invariant Feature Transform (ASIFT).

The SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) algorithm has been successfully used in the image matching field. In this paper, a simplified SIFT algorithm is designed. The number of layers in the Gaussian pyramid is reduced. When it is comparing the keypoints, it uses an outspreading method. The new method can reduce the comparison time and matching time. Although the new algorithm (C-SIFT algorithm) has less matching accuracy than the SIFT algorithm, it adopts a distortion detection method to abandon the wrong matching. Then it uses the coordinate displacement to determine the tracking position. Experimental results show that C-SIFT algorithm can perform steadily and timely.

A novel scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm is proposed for soccer target recognition application in a robot soccer game. First, the method of generating scale space is given, extreme points are detected. This gives the precise positioning of the extraction step and the SIFT feature points. Based on the gradient and direction of the feature point neighboring pixels, a description of the key points of the vector is generated. Finally, the matching method based on feature vectors is extracted from SIFT feature points and implemented on the image of the football in a soccer game. By employing the proposed SIFT algorithm for football and stadium key feature points extraction and matching, significant increase can be achieved in the robot soccer ability to identify and locate the football.

Feature detection and image matching constitutes two primary tasks in photogrammetric and have multiple applications in a number of fields. One such application is face recognition. The critical nature of this application demands that image matching algorithm used in recognition of features in facial recognition to be robust and fast. The proposed method uses affine transforms to recognize the descriptors and classified by means of Bayes theorem. This paper demonstrates the suitability of the proposed image matching algorithm for use in face recognition appli-cations. Yale facial data set is used in the validation and the results are compared with SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) based face recognition approach.

In urgent observations after disasters, we can mention that the image matching processing is an essential technique to establish more stable and rapid 3D data generation. Particularly, multi-images taken from various viewpoints are useful in the disaster monitoring. Thus, feature and corresponded point detection would be designed for a multi-image matching. Recently, Structure from Motion (SfM) is often applied to generate 3D data. The SfM is useful approach to generate 3D data from images of random viewpoints. However, Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) requires a plenty of time to detect feature points and corresponded points from multi-images. Therefore, we proposed a methodology to improve triplet matching and SfM with line segments extracted from images. Moreover, we evaluated our methodology using multi-images taken from aerial triplet camera.

The algorithm of SIFT (scale-invariant feature transform) feature matching is an international hotspot in the areas of the keypoints matching and target recognition at the present time. The algorithm is used in the image matching widely because of the good invariance of scale, illumination and space rotation .This paper proposes a new theory to reduce the mismatch—the theory to reduce the mismatch based on the main orientation of keypoints. This theory should firstly compute the grads of the main orientation of a couple of matched keypoints in the two images and the difference between them. Because the difference of the main orientation of matched keypoints should be much larger than the couples which are matched correctly, we can distinguish and reduce the mismatch through setting the proper threshold, and it can improve the accuracy of the SIFT algorithm greatly.

Image matching is one of the most important problems in computer vision. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm has been proved to be effective for detecting features for image matching. However SIFT algorithm has limitation to extract features in textile image or self-similar construction image. Fortunately fractional differentiation has advantage to strengthen and extract textural features of digital images. Aiming at the problem, this paper proposes a new method for image matching based on fractional differentiation and SIFT. The method calculates the image pyramid combining the Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional differentiation and the derivative of the Gaussian function. Thus image feature has been enhanced, and more feature points can be extracted. As a result the matching accuracy is improved. Additionally, a new feature detection mask based on fractional differential is constructed. The proposed method is a significant extension of SIFT algorithm. The experiments carried out with images in database and real images indicate that the proposed method can obtain good matching results. It can be used for matching textile image or some self-similar construct image.

In this paper an attempt is made to diagnose brain disease like neoplastic disease, cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer disease, fatal disease, Sarcoma disease by effective fusion of two images. Two images are fused in three steps: Step 1.Segmentation: The images are segmented on the basis of optimal thresholding; thresholds are optimized with natural inspired firefly algorithm by assuming fuzzy entropy as objective function. Image thresholding is one of the segmentation techniques which is flexible, simple and has less convergence time as compared to others. Step 2: the segmented features are extracted with Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm. The SIFT algorithm is good in extracting the features even after image rotation and scaling. Step 3: Finally fusion rules are made on the basis of interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2FL), where uncertainty effects are minimized unlike type-1. The novelty of the proposed work is tested on different benchmark Image fusion data set and proved better in all measuring parameters.
