Image Matching Using Enhancement Offsets With Adaptive Parameter Selection Via Histogram Analysis

In this paper, an algorithm for improved image matching is presented using enhancement offsets that are created dynamically with adaptive parameter selection. The algorithm operates by analyzing an input image and building image offsets to improve colour contrast, non-uniform illumination and lack of detail which allows for additional keypoints to be detected by numerous different detectors. Keypoint detection testing on the enhanced images is conducted, as well as image matching using SIFT and SURF. It is quantitatively shown that the proposed algorithm results in visual improvements, as well as in additional, stronger keypoints being detected in all images irrespective of the detector used. Matching experiments are conducted using the Webcam and Oxford/EF datasets wherein the proposed algorithm consistently outputs more correct matches and achieves higher or comparable matching accuracy over other related enhancement algorithms using SIFT and SURF.
