Image-To-Image Correspondence: Linear-Structure Matching

Abstract

We examine the task of matching images of a scene when they are taken from very different vantage points, when there is considerable scale change, and when the image orientations are unknown. We use the linear structures in the scene as the basis of our correspondence procedure. This paper considers the problem of describing the linear structures in a manner that is invariant relative to the variations that can occur among images, and discusses a method of finding the best description of the linear structures.
