Study Notes
Local Binary Patterns (LBP)
- LBP can be used for multiresolution and rotation-invariant texture classification.
- Rotation invariance achieved through bitwise shifting to derive the smallest binary number, impacting the resultant features.
- Reduces LBP feature dimension from 256 patterns to 36 due to not all patterns generating 8 shifted variants.
Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)
- SIFT describes texture around keypoints, ensuring invariance to scaling, rotation, affine distortion, and illumination changes.
- Comprises several steps: Scale-Space Extrema Detection, Keypoint Localization, Orientation Assignment, Keypoint Descriptor.
SIFT Algorithm Steps
- Scale-Space Extrema Detection: Identifies maxima/minima in Difference of Gaussian (DoG) images.
- Keypoint Localization: Discards low-contrast keypoints and eliminates edge responses via Hessian analysis.
- Orientation Assignment: Determines keypoint orientation using local gradient orientations; additional keypoints generated for secondary peaks above 80%.
- Keypoint Descriptor: Generates a 128-dimensional feature vector using a 4x4 array of weighted gradient histograms, with 8 orientation bins.
SIFT Applications
- Effective in matching partially overlapping images through computation and comparison of SIFT keypoints in the 128D feature space.
- Utilizes Nearest Neighbour Distance Ratio (NNDR) for descriptor matching, rejecting matches with substantial ratio (>0.8).
- Applied in image stitching, requiring feature correspondence and spatial transformation.
Spatial Transformations
- Types include Rigid (Translation, Rotation) and Nonrigid (Scaling, Affine, Perspective).
Fitting and Alignment Techniques
- Least-Squares (LS) Fitting: Minimizes squared errors between transformed and target coordinates.
- RANSAC (RANdom SAmple Consensus): Iterative approach for optimal fitting while rejecting outliers through a sample of matching points.
Summary of Feature Representation
- Essential in computer vision; common image features include:
- Colour features (moments, histograms)
- Texture features (Haralick, LBP, SIFT)
- Shape features (basic, shape context, HOG)
- Discussed techniques focus on descriptor matching, transformations, and future topics like feature encoding and shape matching.
