Abstract
SURF has been proven to be one of the state-of-the art feature detector and descriptor, and mainly treats colorful images as gray images. However, color provides valuable information in the object description and recognition tasks. This paper addresses this problem and adds the color information into the scale-and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined C-SURF (Colored Speeded Up Robust Features). The built C-SURF is more robust than the conventional SURF with respect to rotation variations. Moreover, we use 112 dimensions to describe not only the distribution of Harr-wavelet responses but also the color information within the interest point neighborhood. The evaluation results support the potential of the proposed approach.
