Abstract
Local feature detectors and descriptors are widely used in many computer vision applications and various methods have been proposed during the past decade. There have been a number of evaluations focused on various aspects of local features, matching accuracy in particular, however there has been no comparisons considering the accuracy and speed trade-offs of recent extractors such as BRIEF, BRISK, ORB, MRRID, MROGH and LIOP. This paper provides a performance evaluation of recent feature detectors and compares their matching precision and speed in randomized kd-trees setup as well as an evaluation of binary descriptors with efficient computation of Hamming distance. © 2012 ICPR Org Committee.
