Abstract:Binary descriptors are widely used for multi-view matching and robotic navigation. However, their matching performance decreases considerably under severe scale and viewpoint changes in non-planar scenes. To overcome this problem, we propose to encode the varying appearance of selected 3D scene points tracked by a moving camera with compact spatio-temporal descriptors. To this end, we first track interest points and capture their temporal variations at multiple scales. Then, we validate feature tracks through … Show more
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.
