摘要: 兴趣点检测是中层视觉感知过程的关键步骤,也是众多机器视觉系统的重要组成部分.此前的大多数兴趣点检测子都是针对特殊的二维图像结构设计的,比如角点、交叉点、端点等,所以对与其差别较大的特征不能检测.采用在Gabor能量空间中迭代搜索的方法,本文提出了一种尺度不变兴趣点检测子.基于结构不同的二维图像特征在相频域中表现相似的特点,该检测子能检测大多数特征.首先,基于Gabor滤波器响应获得一系列能量图像,通过极值点检测得到候选兴趣点;其次,使用一种迭代方法同时选择特征尺度与精确定位特征点位置;最后为了提高算法的实时性,采用了一种递推方法加速能量图像的计算过程.实验结果表明相对于其它检测子,本文提出的方法具有更广泛的适应性,并且在旋转、尺度、光照等变化下具有良好的稳定性.Abstract: Interest point detection is a fundamental issue in many intermediate level vision problems and plays a significant role in vision systems. The previous interest point detectors are designed to detect some special image structures such as corners, junctions, line terminations and so on. These detectors based on some simplified 2D feature models will not work for image features that differ significantly from the models. In this paper, a scale invariant interest point detector, which is appropriate for most types of image features, is proposed based on an iterative method in the Gabor based energy space. It detects interest points by noting that there are some similarities in the phase domain for all types of image features, which are obtained by different detectors respectively. Firstly, this approach obtains the positions of candidate points by detecting the local maxima of a series of energy maps constructed by Gabor filter responses. Secondly, an iterative algorithm is adopted to select the corresponding characteristic scales and accurately locate the interest points simultaneously in the Gabor based energy space. Finally, in order to improve the real-time performance of the approach, a fast implementation of Gabor function is used to accelerate the process of energy space construction. Experiments show that this approach has a broader applicability than the other detectors and has a good performance under rotation and some other image changes.
