Reduced egomotion estimation drift using omnidirectional views by Yalin Bastanlar

“…In our work, we adopt the sequential structure-from-motion approach which starts with estimating the motion between first two views and more views are added one by one. We automatically match points between omnidirectional and perspective views. …”

Generalized Stereo Matching Method Based on Iterative Optimization of Hierarchical Graph Structure Consistency Cost for Urban 3D Reconstruction by Shuting Yang, Hao Chen, Wen Chen

“…Generalized stereo matching faces the radiation difference and small ground feature difference brought by different satellites and different time phases, while the texture-less and disparity discontinuity phenomenon seriously affects the correspondence between matching points. To address the above problems, a novel generalized stereo matching method based on the iterative optimization of hierarchical graph structure consistency cost is proposed for urban 3D scene reconstruction. …”

Structural Properties of Janus Particles with Nano- and Mesoscale Anisotropy by Eugen Mircea Anitas

“…This approach allows an analytic description of the contrast matching point, and it is shown that the interplay between the scattering curves of the two phases gives rise to a rich scaling behavior which allows extracting structural information about each individual phase. …”

Underground image matching algorithm combining homomorphic filtering and histogram equalization by GONG Yun, YANG Pangbin, JIE Xinyu

“…In order to solve the problem of mis-matching in the traditional AKAZE algorithm, on the basis of rough matching by the brute force matching algorithm, the random sampling consensus (RANSAC) algorithm based on the homography matrix is used to perform accurate matching and eliminate the mis-matched point pairs. The experimental results show that using single-parameter homomorphic filtering and CLAHE algorithm to enhance the image can stretch the gray level of the image, reduce the number of dark pixels and increase the number of bright pixels, which makes the gray level distribution smoother and helps to preserve the details and boundary information of the image. …”

Panoramic stitching by Lek, Samuel Yong Chuan

“…For feature matching, we will be demonstrating techniques of normalizing a pixel to compensate for brightness, error computation based on Sum of Squared Difference (SSD) of feature point patch and error computation based on total mean and median error of matched points. In doing so we will also determine and explain the effectiveness between mean and median error computation. …”

Three-dimensional geological implicit surface reconstruction based on intermediate contour morphological interpolation by Quan Wang, Yanhong Zou

“…Then, the contour similarity coefficient was obtained by calculating the similarity degree of matching points, and the best contour vertex matching map is established based on maximum similarity matching principle; Finally, through intermediate gradient interpolation, the result is used as a morphological constraint to participate in surface reconstruction with radial basis functions (RBFs). …”

Construction of high-precision DEMs for urban plots by Min Li, Wen Dai, Susu Song, Chun Wang, Yu Tao

“…The elements of urban plots were classified into six types, in which the boundaries and elevation information were extracted with real sense 3D models, Digital Orthophoto Maps (DOMs) and dense matching point cloud data. The DEMs of the 6 types of elements were generated separately with different methods, that are fused to complete the DEM of urban plots. …”
