Utilization Of Scale In Keypoint Detection And Feature Description, Andrew P. Rhodes
Utilization Of Scale In Keypoint Detection And Feature Description, Andrew P. Rhodes
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Ubiquitous availability of inexpensive three dimensional (3D) sensors has led to an abundance of keypoint detection and feature description techniques for point-clouds. While some recent methods utilize color along with geometric information, most only implicitly discuss -- if not completely disregard -- the information provided by scale. Scale is an inherent characteristic of any keypoint or feature that describes its physical size or region of support.
Exploiting information provided by scale facilitates the processes of keypoint detection and feature description. A 3D scale-space, extended from robust and popular 2D methods, is constructed to diffuse a signal on triangulated meshes. Methods …
