Stromberg Labs: JOpenSurf. Recently I've been whiling away the time creating my very own bag of words image classifier and I've been learning how to scale it up to handle a large (100k+) number of images with a reasonable accuracy on my modest machine (2.66Gz Core 2 Duo & 4GB of RAM). While doing this I shied away from the SIFT descriptor because it's license is controlled by from UBC, despite it's de facto status as the descriptor to use in every bag of words paper ever written. The next best option seemed to be the SURF descriptor, so because I'm kind of a putz and I am used to programming in Java, I took the hard way out and ported an existing implementation to Java. At the time, the only implementation I was able to get to work properly on my machine was Chris Evan's opensurf project. I essentially copied it line for line and made notes to try and understand the process along the way.
P.S. Chris was kind enough to let me license this under the 3 clause BSD license instead of the GPL, thanks! Download. P-SURF. A library by Claudio Fantacci, Alessandro Martini for the programming environment processing. Follow our project on Google Code. Last update, March, 14, 2010. The task of finding correspondences between two images of the same scene or object is part of many computer vision applications. Camera calibration, 3D reconstruction, image registration, and ob ject recognition are just a few.
The search for discrete image correspondences – the goal of SURF[1] – can be divided into three main steps: 1. 2. 3. This project provides an implementation of the method in the form of a library for the Processing programming environment. . [1] Herbert Bay, Tinne Tuytelaars, and Luc Van Gool.

Performance:SURF - BoofCV. Speeded Up Robust Feature (SURF) is a state-of-the-art image region descriptor and detector that is invariant with regard to scale, orientation, and illumination. By using an integral image, the descriptor can be computed efficiently across different scales. In recent years it has emerged as one of the more popular and frequently-used feature descriptors, but it is not a trivial algorithm to implement, and several different implementations exist. The following study compares several different libraries to determine relative stability and runtime performance. Results Last Updated: February 2, 2012 For a more detailed discussion of the algorithmic difference between these implementations and clarifications of ambiguities found in the original SURF paper, see the paper below: Paper: Peter Abeles, "Speeding Up SURF" 9th International Symposium on Visual Computing, 2013 Tested Implementations: [1] OpenCV can be configured to use multi-threaded code if it is compiled with IPP.
SURFPerformance. SIFT Algorithm | JiDuL. By JiDuL • • 11 Jul 2011 Spring 2009, during an internship at the research laboratory LIRIS belonging to the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, I developped a buildings recognition system on mobile phones. This application is mainly based on the SIFT algorithm for comparing and finding similarities between images.
This page will not deal with this project, but with the SIFT algorithm rewritten in JAVA, then J2ME. Scale-invariant feature transform (or SIFT) is an algorithm in computer vision to detect and describe local features in images. The algorithm was published by David Lowe in 1999. More information at the WIKI web page. Overview of the interesting points of a picture Note that this is not only to detect but also characterized by values in order to recognize (to match) these areas or points of interest in other images of the same scene.

SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) is a robust image descriptor, first presented by Herbert Bay et al. in 2006, that can be used in computer vision tasks like object recognition or 3D reconstruction. It is partly inspired by the SIFT descriptor. The standard version of SURF is several times faster than SIFT and claimed by its authors to be more robust against different image transformations than SIFT. SURF is based on sums of 2D Haar wavelet responses and makes an efficient use of integral images. As basic image features it uses a Haar wavelet approximation of the determinant of Hessian blob detector.

Corner Detection Corner detection is very useful for shape description and matching.
How it works Corner detection works on the principle that if you place a small window over an image, if that window is placed on a corner then if it is moved in any direction there will be a large change in intensity. This is illustrated below with some diagrams. If the window is over a flat area of the image then there will be obviously be no intensity change when the window moves. If the window is over an edge there will only be an intesity change if the window moves in one direction. If the window is over a corner then there will be a change in all directions, and therefore we know there must be a corner.
The Harris corner detector, demonstrated above, measures the strength of detected corners, and only marks those above a given strength as actual corners.
