In many cases, visual tracking is based on detecting, describing, and then matching local features. A variety of algorithms for these steps have been proposed and used in tracking...
Matching points between multiple images of a scene is a vital component of many computer vision tasks. Point matching involves creating a succinct and discriminative descriptor fo...
Varying illumination and partial occlusion are two main difficulties in visual tracking. Existing methods based on appearance information cannot solve these problems effectively s...
Abstract. We propose new ideas and efficient algorithms towards bridging the gap between bag-of-features and constellation descriptors for image matching. Specifically, we show ho...
A new image feature called Harris feature vector is defined in this paper, which effectively describes the image gradient distribution. By computing the mean and the standard devi...
