Fast Marching Method and Deformation Invariant Features Jianke Zhu From Haibin Ling’s ICCV talk
Outline • Introduction • Fast Marching Method • Deformation Invariant Framework • Experiments • Conclusion and Future Work
General Deformation • One-to-one, continuous mapping. • Intensity values are deformation invariant. • (their positions may change)
Our Solution • A deformation invariant framework • Embed images as surfaces in 3D • Geodesic distance is made deformation invariant by adjusting an embedding parameter • Build deformation invariant descriptors using geodesic distances

1D Image Embedding 1D Image I(x) EMBEDDING I(x) ( (1-α)x, αI ) (1-α)x αI Aspect weight α: measures the importance of the intensity
q p Geodesic Distance • Length of the shortest path along surface αI g(p,q) (1-α)x
Geodesic Distance and α I1 I2 embed embed Geodesic distance becomes deformation invariant for α close to 1
Embedded Surface Curve on Length of Image Embedding & Curve Lengths ImageI Take limit Depends only on intensity I Deformation Invariant
Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ Deformation Invariant Sampling Geodesic Sampling • Fast marching: get geodesic level curves with sampling interval Δ • Sampling along level curves with Δ p sparse dense

Deformation Invariant Framework Image Embedding ( close to 1) Deformation Invariant Sampling Geodesic Sampling Build Deformation Invariant Descriptors (GIH)
Practical Issues • Lighting change • Affine lighting model • Normalize the intensity • Interest-Point • No special interest-point is required • Extreme point (LoG, MSER etc.) is more reliable and effective

Data Sets Synthetic Deformation & Lighting Change (8 pairs) Real Deformation (3 pairs)
Interest-Points Interest-point Matching • Harris-affine points [Mikolajczyk&Schmid04] * • Affine invariant support regions • Not required by GIH • 200 points per image • Ground-truth labeling • Automatically for synthetic image pairs • Manually for real image pairs * Courtesy of Mikolajczyk, http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/research/affine/
Descriptors and Performance Evaluation Descriptors • We compared GIH with following descriptors: Steerable filter [Freeman&Adelson91], SIFT [Lowe04], moments [VanGool&etal96], complex filter [Schaffalitzky&Zisserman02], spin image [Lazebnik&etal05] * Performance Evaluation • ROC curve: detection rate among top N matches. • Detection rate * Courtesy of Mikolajczyk, http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/research/affine/
