ABSTRACT
Processing visual content in images and videos is a challenging task associated with the development of modern computer vision. Because salient point approaches can represent distinctive and affine invariant points in images, many approaches have been proposed over the past decade. Each method has particular advantages and limitations and may be appropriate in different contexts. In this paper we evaluate the performance of a wide set of salient point detectors and descriptors. We begin by comparing diverse salient point algorithms (SIFT, SURF, BRIEF, ORB, FREAK, BRISK, STAR, GFTT and FAST) with regard to repeatability, recall and precision and then move to accuracy and stability in real-time video tracking.

Salient features for visual word based image copy detection
ICMR '14: Proceedings of International Conference on Multimedia RetrievalImage copy detection is a major challenge with regard to computational efficiency, memory requirements and accuracy. A popular approach from the literature is to use visual words (or Bag-of-Words) constructed from real value (SIFT and SURF) and binary ...
