Parameter setting optimization in SURF algorithm based on small scale image
Zhou Yuhaowe · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2013
In the field of image stitching, SURF algorithm is widely used for its excellent real-time procedure and robust. Due to the fixed parameter settings in interest point detection and description, the adjustability of SURF algorithm to different applying situation is relatively weak. In order to improve the range of SURF application, this paper looks into three aspects in the algorithm:the weight of box filter, the sub-region selection and the Haar wavelet sampling point range within the sub-region. In comparing the real-time quality, the stitching accuracy and the robust quality of the algorithm, the experiments using variable control method propose a parameter setting strategy based on small scale image which is widely used in nowadays stream media. In analyzing the interest points match rate and efficiency, the strategies proposed in characterizing the algorithm can extend the use of SURF in real-time field.
