SIFT matching with color invariant characteristics and global context
As Scale Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT)describes local characteristics of images only and ignores the color information of the images
it has higher match errors when a lot of similar regions in the images are matched. This paper improves the SIFT algorithm and proposes a novel method as an extension of the SIFT
called a Shape-color Alliance Robust Feature (SCARF) descriptor
to resolve the problems mentioned above. The proposed approach SCARF uses the SIFT descriptor to extract the feature point set of the images. Then
by building a concentric-ring model
it integrates a color invariant space and a shape context with the SIFT to construct the SCARF descriptor
and uses the Euclidean distance as cost function to match the descriptor. A comparative evaluation for different descriptors is carried out by the INRIA database
which verifies that the SCARF approach provides better results than other four state-of-the-art related methods in many cases
such as viewpoint change
zoom+ rotation
image blur and illumination change. It concludes that the SCARF reduces the probability of mismatch and improves the stability and robustness of matching process greatly.
