Robust local feature detector and descriptor
Goal: Robust matching of features between multiple images using a Hessian-based detector and a suitable descriptor. A detector and descriptor that takes into account the approximately known distortions will have a much higher matching rate, especially when fisheye or wide angle images are used.
- Implementation of the feature detector and descriptor, and a suitable test suite to verify the correctness of the implementation.
Deliverables
A desired result of the projects would be:
- C or C++ library that implements the detection and description steps.
- An executable for extracting features from image file.
- Test suite to evaluate descriptor on a large amount of images.
- Integration of the library into hugin
