Various vision applications exploit matching algorithms to locate a target object in a scene image. A new fast matching algorithm based on recursive calculation of oriented gradient histograms over several circular sliding windows is presented. In order to speed up the algorithm pyramidal image decomposition technique and parallel implementation with modern multicore processors are utilized. The proposed fast algorithm yields a good invariance performance for both in-plane and out-of-plane rotations of a scene image. Computer results obtained with the proposed algorithm are presented and compared with those of common algorithms in terms of matching accuracy and processing time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
