This work addresses the problem of learning compact yet discriminative patch descriptors within a deep learning framework. We observe that features extracted by convolutional layers in the pixel domain are largely complementary to features extracted in a transformed domain. We propose a convolutional network framework for learning binary patch descriptors where pixel domain features are fused with features extracted from the transformed domain. In our framework, while convolutional and transformed features are distinctly extracted, they are fused and provided to a single classifier which thus jointly operates on convolutional and transformed features. We experiment at matching patches from three different datasets, showing that our feature fusion approach outperforms multiple state-of-the-art approaches in terms of accuracy, rate, and complexity.

Estimating dense correspondences between images is a long-standing image under-standing task. Recent works introduce convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract high-level feature maps and find correspondences through feature matching. However,hi
gh-level feature maps are in low spatial resolution and therefore insufficient to provide accurate and fine-grained features to distinguish intra-class variations for correspondence matching. To address this problem, we generate robust features by dynamically selecting features at different scales. To resolve two critical issues in feature selection,i.e.,how many and which scales of features to be selected, we frame the feature selection process as a sequential Markov decision-making process (MDP) and introduce an optimal selection strategy using reinforcement learning (RL). We define an RL environment for image matching in which each individual action either requires new features or terminates the selection episode by referring a matching score. Deep neural networks are incorporated into our method and trained for decision making. Experimental results show that our method achieves comparable/superior performance with state-of-the-art methods on three benchmarks, demonstrating the effectiveness of our feature selection strategy.
This paper proposes a novel concept to directly match feature descriptors extracted from 2D images with feature descriptors extracted from 3D point clouds. We use this concept to directly localize images in a 3D point cloud. We generate a dataset of
matching 2D and 3D points and their corresponding feature descriptors, which is used to learn a Descriptor-Matcher classifier. To localize the pose of an image at test time, we extract keypoints and feature descriptors from the query image. The trained Descriptor-Matcher is then used to match the features from the image and the point cloud. The locations of the matched features are used in a robust pose estimation algorithm to predict the location and orientation of the query image. We carried out an extensive evaluation of the proposed method for indoor and outdoor scenarios and with different types of point clouds to verify the feasibility of our approach. Experimental results demonstrate that direct matching of feature descriptors from images and point clouds is not only a viable idea but can also be reliably used to estimate the 6-DOF poses of query cameras in any type of 3D point cloud in an unconstrained manner with high precision.
This paper presents Multi-view Labelling Object Detector (MLOD). The detector takes an RGB image and a LIDAR point cloud as input and follows the two-stage object detection framework. A Region Proposal Network (RPN) generates 3D proposals in a Birds
Eye View (BEV) projection of the point cloud. The second stage projects the 3D proposal bounding boxes to the image and BEV feature maps and sends the corresponding map crops to a detection header for classification and bounding-box regression. Unlike other multi-view based methods, the cropped image features are not directly fed to the detection header, but masked by the depth information to filter out parts outside 3D bounding boxes. The fusion of image and BEV features is challenging, as they are derived from different perspectives. We introduce a novel detection header, which provides detection results not just from fusion layer, but also from each sensor channel. Hence the object detector can be trained on data labelled in different views to avoid the degeneration of feature extractors. MLOD achieves state-of-the-art performance on the KITTI 3D object detection benchmark. Most importantly, the evaluation shows that the new header architecture is effective in preventing image feature extractor degeneration.
The constraint of neighborhood consistency or local consistency is widely used for robust image matching. In this paper, we focus on learning neighborhood topology consistent descriptors (TCDesc), while former works of learning descriptors, such as H
ardNet and DSM, only consider point-to-point Euclidean distance among descriptors and totally neglect neighborhood information of descriptors. To learn topology consistent descriptors, first we propose the linear combination weights to depict the topological relationship between center descriptor and its kNN descriptors, where the difference between center descriptor and the linear combination of its kNN descriptors is minimized. Then we propose the global mapping function which maps the local linear combination weights to the global topology vector and define the topology distance of matching descriptors as l1 distance between their topology vectors. Last we employ adaptive weighting strategy to jointly minimize topology distance and Euclidean distance, which automatically adjust the weight or attention of two distances in triplet loss. Our method has the following two advantages: (1) We are the first to consider neighborhood information of descriptors, while former works mainly focus on neighborhood consistency of feature points; (2) Our method can be applied in any former work of learning descriptors by triplet loss. Experimental results verify the generalization of our method: We can improve the performances of both HardNet and DSM on several benchmarks.
We propose a new dataset for learning local image descriptors which can be used for significantly improved patch matching. Our proposed dataset consists of an order of magnitude more number of scenes, images, and positive and negative correspondences
compared to the currently available Multi-View Stereo (MVS) dataset from Brown et al. The new dataset also has better coverage of the overall viewpoint, scale, and lighting changes in comparison to the MVS dataset. Our dataset also provides supplementary information like RGB patches with scale and rotations values, and intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters which as shown later can be used to customize training data as per application. We train an existing state-of-the-art model on our dataset and evaluate on publicly available benchmarks such as HPatches dataset and Strecha et al.cite{strecha} to quantify the image descriptor performance. Experimental evaluations show that the descriptors trained using our proposed dataset outperform the current state-of-the-art descriptors trained on MVS by 8%, 4% and 10% on matching, verification and retrieval tasks respectively on the HPatches dataset. Similarly on the Strecha dataset, we see an improvement of 3-5% for the matching task in non-planar scenes.
