AI 中文摘要
图像配准在电子图像稳定等应用中至关重要。尺度不变特征变换(SIFT)是常用的局部关键点检测器和描述符,通常能提供准确配准,但在具有强线性结构(如百叶窗)的场景中常失败,因为局部特征变得模糊。我们提出Hough-SIFT,一种在霍夫空间中进行SIFT描述符匹配的鲁棒配准方法。在此域中,线性结构形成独特峰值,恢复描述符可辨别性。实验表明,Hough-SIFT在SIFT常失败的线性场景中稳健,在正常场景中保持与SIFT相当的准确性。
英文摘要
Image registration is essential in applications such as electronic image stabilization. Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), a widely used local keypoint detector and descriptor, typically provides accurate registration; however, it often fails in scenes with strong linear structures (e.g., shutters), where local features become ambiguous. We propose Hough-SIFT, a robust registration method that performs SIFT descriptor matching in Hough space. In this domain, linear structures form distinctive peaks that restore descriptor discriminability. Experiments demonstrate that Hough-SIFT is robust in linear scenes where SIFT frequently fails, while maintaining accuracy comparable to SIFT in normal scenes.
