Implementation of Image Matching Algorithm Based on SIFT Features

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the aim to solve the implement problem in scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm, the theory and the implementation process was analyzed in detail. The characteristics of the SIFT method were analyzed by theory, combined with the explanation of the Rob Hess SIFT source codes. The effect of the SIFT method was validated by matching two different real images. The matching result shows that the features extracted by SIFT method have excellent adaptive and accurate characteristics to image scale, viewpoint change, which are useful for the fields of image recognition, image reconstruction, etc.
