Line Matching Using Appearance Similarities and Geometric Constraints

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 7476))

Abstract

Line matching for image pairs under various transformations is a challenging task. In this paper, we present a line matching algorithm which considers both the local appearance of lines and their geometric attributes. A relational graph is built for candidate matches and a spectral technique is employed to solve this matching problem efficiently. Extensive experiments on a dataset which includes various image transformations validate the matching performance and the efficiency of the proposed line matching algorithm.
