ASIFT: An Algorithm for Fully Affine Invariant Comparison
Image Processing On Line, 2011 If a physical object has a smooth or piecewise smooth boundary, its images obtained by cameras in varying positions undergo smooth apparent deformations. These deformations are locally well approximated by affine transforms of the image plane.

Image Mosaic Method Based on SIFT Features of Line Segment [PDF]
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2014 This paper proposes a novel image mosaic method based on SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) feature of line segment, aiming to resolve incident scaling, rotation, changes in lighting condition, and so on between two images in the panoramic image mosaic process.

A Novel Robot Visual Homing Method Based on SIFT Features [PDF]
Sensors, 2015 Warping is an effective visual homing method for robot local navigation. However, the performance of the warping method can be greatly influenced by the changes of the environment in a real scene, thus resulting in lower accuracy. In order to solve the above problem and to get higher homing precision, a novel robot visual homing algorithm is proposed ...
