Local feature detection and description are widely used for object recognition such as augmented reality applications. There have been a number of evaluations and comparisons between feature detectors and descriptors and between their different implementations. Those evaluations are carried out on random sets of image structures. However, feature detectors and descriptors respond differently depending on the image structure. In this paper, we evaluate the overall performance of the most efficient detectors and descriptors in terms of speed and efficiency. The evaluation is carried out on a set of images of different object classes and structures with different geometric and photometric deformations. This evaluation would be useful for detecting the most suitable detector and descriptor for a particular object recognition application. Moreover, multi-object applications such as digilog books could change the detector and descriptor used based on the current object. From the results, it has been observed that some detectors perform better with certain object classes. Differences in performance of the descriptors vary with different image structures.
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.
