Image Matching and Retrieval by Repetitive Patterns

Detection of repetitive patterns in images has been studied for a long time in computer vision. This paper discusses a method for representing a lattice or line pattern by shift-invariant descriptor of the repeating element. The descriptor overcomes shift ambiguity and can be matched between different a views. The pattern matching is then demonstrated in retrieval experiment, where different images of the same buildings are retrieved solely by repetitive patterns.
