Robust Edge Aware Descriptor for Image Matching
Robust Edge Aware Descriptor for Image Matching Rouzbeh Maani, Sanjay Kalra, Yee-Hong Yang Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada Abstract. This paper presents a method called Robust Edge Aware De- scriptor (READ) to compute local gradient information. The proposed method measures the similarity of the underlying structure to an edge using the 1D Fourier transform on a set of points located on a circle around a pixel. It is shown that the magnitude and the phase of READ can well represent the magnitude and orientation of the local gradients and present robustness to imaging effects and artifacts. In addition, the proposed method can be efficiently implemented by kernels. Next, we de- fine a robust region descriptor for image matching using the READ gra- dient operator. The presented descriptor uses a novel approach to define support regions by rotation and anisotropical scaling of the original re- gions. The experimental results on the Oxford dataset and on additional datasets with more challenging imaging effects such as motion blur and non-uniform illumination changes show the superiority and robustness of the proposed descriptor to the state-of-the-art descriptors. 1 Introduction Local feature detection and description are among the most important tasks in computer vision. The extracted descriptors are used in a variety of applica- tions such as object recognition and image matching, motion tracking, facial expression recognition, and human action recognition. The whole process can be divided into two major tasks: region detection, and region description. The goal of the first task is to detect regions that are invariant to a class of transforma- tions such as rotation, change of scale, and change of viewpoint. -
Lecture 10 Detectors and Descriptors
This lecture is about detectors and descriptors, which are the basic building blocks for many tasks in 3D vision and recognition. We’ll discuss Lecture 10 some of the properties of detectors and descriptors and walk through examples.

P = [x,y,z] p = [x,y] 3D world •Let’s now focus on 2D Image The question we will be asking in this lecture is - how do we represent images? There are many basic ways to do this. We can just characterize How to represent images? them as a collection of pixels with their intensity values. Another, more practical, option is to describe them as a collection of components or features which correspond to “interesting” regions in the image such as corners, edges, and blobs. Each of these regions is characterized by a descriptor which captures the local distribution of certain photometric properties such as intensities, gradients, etc. Feature extraction and description is the first step in many recent vision algorithms. They can be considered as building blocks in many scenarios The big picture… where it is critical to: 1) Fit or estimate a model that describes an image or a portion of it 2) Match or index images 3) Detect objects or actions form images Feature e.g. -
Line Detection by Hough Transformation
Line Detection by Hough transformation 09gr820 April 20, 2009 1 Introduction When images are to be used in different areas of image analysis such as object recognition, it is important to reduce the amount of data in the image while preserving the important, characteristic, structural information. Edge detection makes it possible to reduce the amount of data in an image considerably. However the output from an edge detector is still a image described by it’s pixels. If lines, ellipses and so forth could be defined by their characteristic equations, the amount of data would be reduced even more. The Hough transform was originally developed to recognize lines [5], and has later been generalized to cover arbitrary shapes [3] [1]. This worksheet explains how the Hough transform is able to detect (imperfect) straight lines. 2 The Hough Space 2.1 Representation of Lines in the Hough Space Lines can be represented uniquely by two parameters. Often the form in Equation 1 is used with parameters a and b. y = a · x + b (1) This form is, however, not able to represent vertical lines. Therefore, the Hough transform uses the form in Equation 2, which can be rewritten to Equation 3 to be similar to Equation 1. The parameters θ and r is the angle of the line and the distance from the line to the origin respectively. r = x · cos θ + y · sin θ ⇔ (2) cos θ r y = − · x + (3) sin θ sin θ All lines can be represented in this form when θ ∈ [0, 180[ and r ∈ R (or θ ∈ [0, 360[ and r ≥ 0). -

Despite many advantages of the Internet, it is hard to neglect the Internet side effects in people life. Exposure to illicit images is very common among adolescent and children, with a variety of significant and often upsetting effects on their growth and thoughts. Thus, detecting and filtering illicit images is a hot and fast evolving topic in computer vision. In this research we tried to summarize the existing visual feature extraction techniques used for illicit image detection. Feature extraction can be separate into two sub- techniques feature detection and description. This research presents the-state-of-the-art techniques in each group. The evaluation measurements and metrics used in other researches are summarized at the end of the paper. -
Edge Detection (Trucco, Chapt 4 and Jain Et Al., Chapt 5)
Edge detection (Trucco, Chapt 4 AND Jain et al., Chapt 5) • Definition of edges -Edges are significant local changes of intensity in an image. -Edges typically occur on the boundary between twodifferent regions in an image. • Goal of edge detection -Produce a line drawing of a scene from an image of that scene. -Important features can be extracted from the edges of an image (e.g., corners, lines, curves). -These features are used by higher-levelcomputer vision algorithms (e.g., recogni- tion). -2- • What causes intensity changes? -Various physical events cause intensity changes. -Geometric events *object boundary (discontinuity in depth and/or surface color and texture) *surface boundary (discontinuity in surface orientation and/or surface color and texture) -Non-geometric events *specularity (direct reflection of light, such as a mirror) *shadows (from other objects or from the same object) *inter-reflections • Edge descriptors Edge normal: unit vector in the direction of maximum intensity change. Edge direction: unit vector to perpendicular to the edge normal. Edge position or center: the image position at which the edge is located. Edge strength: related to the local image contrast along the normal. -3- • Modeling intensity changes -Edges can be modeled according to their intensity profiles. Step edge: the image intensity abruptly changes from one value to one side of the discontinuity to a different value on the opposite side. Ramp edge: astep edge where the intensity change is not instantaneous but occur overafinite distance. Ridge edge: the image intensity abruptly changes value but then returns to the starting value within some short distance (generated usually by lines). -
Lecture #06: Edge Detection
Lecture #06: Edge Detection Winston Wang, Antonio Tan-Torres, Hesam Hamledari Department of Computer Science Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 {wwang13, tantonio}@cs.stanford.edu; [email protected] 1 Introduction This lecture covers edge detection, Hough transformations, and RANSAC. The detection of edges provides meaningful semantic information that facilitate the understanding of an image. This can help analyzing the shape of elements, extracting image features, and understanding changes in the properties of depicted scenes such as discontinuity in depth, type of material, and illumination, to name a few. We will explore the application of Sobel and Canny edge detection techniques. The next section introduces the Hough transform, used for the detection of parametric models in images;for example, the detection of linear lines, defined by two parameters, is made possible by the Hough transform. Furthermore, this technique can be generalized to detect other shapes (e.g., circles). However, as we will see, the use of Hough transform is not effective in fitting models with a high number of parameters. To address this model fitting problem, the random sampling consensus (RANSAC) is introduced in the last section; this non-deterministic approach repeatedly samples subsets of data, uses them to fit the model, and classifies the remaining data points as "inliers" or "outliers" depending on how well they can be explained by the fitted model (i.e., their proximity to the model). The result is used for a final selection of data points used in achieving the final model fit. A general comparison of RANSAC and Hough transform is also provided in the last section. -

Image Understanding Edge Detection 1 Introduction 2 Local Operators
Image Understanding Edge Detection 1 Introduction The goal of edge detection is to produce something like a line drawing of an image. In practice we will look for places in the image where the intensity changes quickly. Observe that, in general, the boundaries of objects tend to produce suddent changes in the image intensity. For example, different objects are usually different colors or hues and this causes the image intensity to change as we move from one object to another. In addition, different surfaces of an object receive different amounts of light, which again produces intensity changes. Thus, much of the geometric information that would be conveyed in a line drawing is captured by the intensity changes in an image. Unfortunately, there are also a large number of intensity changes that are not due to geometry, such as surface markings, texture, and specular reflections. Moreover there are sometimes surface boundaries that do not produce very strong intensity changes. Therefore the intensity boundary information that we extract from an image will tend to indicate object boundaries, but not always (in some scenes it will be truly awful). Figure 1a is an image of a simple scene, and Figure 1b shows the output of a particular edge detector on that image. We can see that in this case the edge detector produces a relatively good ‘line drawing’ of the scene. However, say we change the lighting conditions, as illustrated in Figure 2a. Now the edge detector produces an output that is substantially less like a line drawing, as shown in Figure 2b. -
Edge Detection with Efficientnets. Category: Computer Vision
DeepEdgeNet: Edge Detection With EfficientNets. Category: Computer Vision Atem Aguer Dean Zhou Stanford University Stanford University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Traditional edge detection methods normally involve the use of carefully hand- crafted filters or kernels that are convolved with images to produce feature maps representing gradient changes between pixels in images that are then used to detect edges in the image. Despite working decently well when it comes to detecting edges, traditional methods like Canny, Sobel, etc can’t still have a holistic and semantic understanding of the content in images which tends to bring limited accuracy in predictions made. With the recent rise and success of deep learning and convolutional neural networks in the past decade in their application to object detection, image classification, and feature learning, their use for edge detection was explored by papers like CASEnet, HED (Holistically-Nested Edge Detection), DexiNed (Dense Extreme Xception Network), etc. In this paper, we intend to use the learnings from DexiNed, HED, and CASEnet to explore, investigate, and build a robust deep neural network for holistic and reliable edge detection in images. 1 Introduction Edge detection is important for a variety of computer vision tasks, such as line and lane detection, semantic segmentation, object recognition, medical imaging, photo sketching, etc. Pushing the upper bound on edge detection algorithms would greatly aid many different fields and is part of the baseline of many other machine learning algorithms. Our primary motivation for pursuing edge detection was the improvement of algorithms in self-driving cars, but the need for edge detection is so ubiquitous that it can be used in a variety of different problems.
