Second-order Anisotropic Gaussian Directional Derivative Filters for Blob Detection

원문 초록

Interest point detection methods have received increasing attention and are widely used in computer vision tasks such as image retrieval and 3D reconstruction. In this work, second-order anisotropic Gaussian directional derivative filters with multiple scales are used to smooth the input image and a novel blob detection method is proposed. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method over state-of-the-art benchmarks in terms of detection performance and robustness to affine transformations.
