Description
Summary:We propose an efficient image-matching method for deformable-object image matching using discrimination of deformable objects and geometric similarity clustering between feature-matching pairs. A deformable transformation maintains a particular form in the whole image, despite local and irregular deformations. Therefore, the matching information is statistically analyzed to calculate the possibility of deformable transformations, and the images can be identified using the proposed method. In addition, a method for matching deformable object images is proposed, which clusters matching pairs with similar types of geometric deformations. Discrimination of deformable images showed about 90% accuracy, and the proposed deformable image-matching method showed an average 89% success rate and 91% accuracy with various transformations. Therefore, the proposed method robustly matches images, even with various kinds of deformation that can occur in them.
