A Region-Based Image Matching Combining Global and Local Features

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new approach is presented to match two images in presenting large scale changes. The novelty of our algorithm is a hierarchical matching strategy for global region features and local descriptors, which combines the descriptive power of global features and the discriminative power of local descriptors. To predict the likely location and scale of an object, global features extracted from the segmentation regions is used in the first stage for an efficient region matching. This initial matching can be ambiguous due to the instability and unreliability of global region feature, and therefore in the later stage local descriptors are matched within each region pair to discard false positives and the final matches are filtered by RANSAC. Experiments show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method in comparing to other approaches.
