Abstract

An apparatus first extracts feature points defined by position, scale, orientation and a local descriptor from both an object image and a reference image. The apparatus then compares descriptors to establish tentative point correspondences. For each tentative match, the apparatus votes in a two-dimensional parameter space of scale magnification and rotation angle: each match contributes to an intersection point defined by its scale and rotation sections. A histogram of these votes is built over all intersections. Finally, correct correspondences are selected as those tentative matches that fall into the histogram's highest-vote intersections.
