Abstract— Mobile robots rely on their ability of scene recognition to build a topological map of the environment and perform location-related tasks. In this paper, we describe a ...
Many content-based retrieval systems (CBIRS) describe images using the SIFT local features because of their very robust recognition capabilities. While SIFT features proved to cop...
The use of local features in computer vision has shown to be promising. Local features have several advantages including invariance to image transformations, independence of the ba...
Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations....
Many successful feature detectors and descriptors exist for 2D intensity images. However, obtaining the same effectiveness in the domain of 3D objects has proven to be a more elusi...
