An Image Matching Algorithm Based on SUSAN-SIFT Algorithm

Abstract:

For the purpose of improving the real-time performance of the SIFT algorithm, an image matching algorithm based on SUSAN-SIFT algorithm is proposed in this paper. Use SUSAN algorithm in the detecting feature points part of the SIFT algorithm, avoiding the time-consuming down-sampling and Gaussian convolution of the algorithm, and remove the feature points of the unstable and low-contrast by the methods of interpolated estimate and the principal curvatures, and then use the SIFT algorithm to achieve the parts of describing the feature points and images matching. experimental verification: the SUSAN-SIFT algorithm has more fast calculation speed than SIFT algorithm ensuring the accuracy at the same time.
