Reliable RANSAC Using a Novel Preprocessing Model

Abstract EN

Geometric assumption and verification with RANSAC has become a crucial step for corresponding to local features due to its wide applications in biomedical feature analysis and vision computing.

However, conventional RANSAC is very time-consuming due to redundant sampling times, especially dealing with the case of numerous matching pairs.

This paper presents a novel preprocessing model to explore a reduced set with reliable correspondences from initial matching dataset.

Both geometric model generation and verification are carried out on this reduced set, which leads to considerable speedups.

Afterwards, this paper proposes a reliable RANSAC framework using preprocessing model, which was implemented and verified using Harris and SIFT features, respectively.

Compared with traditional RANSAC, experimental results show that our method is more efficient.
