A Novel Fast and Robust Binary Affine Invariant Descriptor for Image Matching

الملخص EN

As the current binary descriptors have disadvantages of high computational complexity, no affine invariance, and the high false matching rate with viewpoint changes, a new binary affine invariant descriptor, called BAND, is proposed.

Different from other descriptors, BAND has an irregular pattern, which is based on local affine invariant region surrounding a feature point, and it has five orientations, which are obtained by LBP effectively.

Ultimately, a 256 bits binary string is computed by simple random sampling pattern.

Experimental results demonstrate that BAND has a good matching result in the conditions of rotating, image zooming, noising, lighting, and small-scale perspective transformation.

It has better matching performance compared with current mainstream descriptors, while it costs less time.
