Local feature description algorithm based on Laplacian
In order to balance the robustness and building complexity of a feature descriptor
a local feature description algorithm based on Laplacian is presented. It is analyzed and illustrated that the Laplacian not only has good properties to Euclidian transformation
zoom
and linear brightness changes of an image
but also can characterize the local structure of the image. On the basis of that
a 64-dimension descriptor is built with the response of Laplacian of Gaussian. Finally
the descriptor is used to match feature points with the absolute distance as similarity measurement. Simulation results indicate that the proposed descriptor can obtain better matching results for the image with zoom
rotation
blurring
illumination varying as well as smaller viewpoint changes
and the matching speed is more than 4 times that of Scale Invariable Feature Transformation(SIFT). The proposed feature description algorithm is suitable for matching the images of structured scenes
for it is insensitive to the image transformation with rotation
zoom
luminance varying
compression or small viewpoint changes.
