Compared with point features, line features can provide more geometric information in vision tasks. Although traditional line descriptor methods have been proposed for a long time, learning-based line descriptor methods still need to be strengthened. Inspired by the message passing mechanism of graph neural networks, we propose a new neural network architecture named LDAM that alternately uses two attention mechanisms to augment line descriptors and extract more line correspondences. Compared with previous methods, our method learns the geometric properties and prior knowledge of images through the mutual aggregation of features between a pair of images. The experiments on real data verify the good performance of LDAM in terms of matching accuracy. Furthermore, LDAM is also robust to viewpoint change or occlusion.
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.
