Keypoint Recognition

Pre-processingMake the actual classification easier

Nearest neighbor classification

One class per keypoint: the set of the keypoint’s possible appearances under various perspective, lighting, noise...

The general approach [Lowe, Schmid, Mikolajczyk, Matas] is a particular case of classification:

Very simple to implement;No need for orientation nor perspective correction;No parameters to tune;Very fast.

Training examplesMatches

With the ferns, we can easily:- add a class;- remove a class;- add samples of a class to refine the classifier. Incremental learning

No need to store image patches; We can select the keypoints the classifier can recognize.

Application to Geometric and Photometric Calibration

Application to Geometric and Photometric Calibration



Calibration

• Internal parameters;

Calibration

• Internal parameters;• Relative motions;• Chain the relative motions to get the absolute poses;• Bundle adjustment.

Photometric Calibration

Make use of the same calibration object.

Two methods :• Dynamic, with Lambertian rendering only;• Static, allowing shadows and specular reflections.

Using the Geometric Calibration Target to Measure Light

Solve for gain, bias of each camera, and irradiance for observed normals.

You can download the source code (under GPL) for • Keypoint recognition,• Planar object detection, and• Multi-camera geometric and photometric calibration,at http://cvlab.epfl.ch/software/bazar

Installation on Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX should be easy.

Thank you
