生成特征算子(sift)MATLAB,尺度不变特征变换(SIFT)调用示例程序

Scale-invariant feature transform

This directory contains compiled binary programs for finding SIFT

invariant features that can run under Linux or Windows.  In addition,

there is a Matlab script as well as C source code showing how to load

the features and do simple feature matching.

Running from within Matlab

--------------------------

If you have access to Matlab, scripts are provided for loading SIFT

features and finding matches between images.  These were tested under

Matlab Version 7 and do not require the image processing toolbox.

Run Matlab in the current directory and execute the following

commands.  The "sift" command calls the appropriate binary to extract

SIFT features (under Linux or Windows) and returns them in matrix

form.  Use "showkeys" to display the keypoints superimposed on the

image:

[image, descrips, locs] = sift('scene.pgm');

showkeys(image, locs);

The "match" command is given two image file names.  It extracts SIFT

features from each image, matches the features between the two images,

and displays the results.

match('scene.pgm','book.pgm');

The result shows the two input images next to each other, with lines

connecting the matching locations.  Most of the matches should be

correct (as can be roughly judged by the fact that they select the

correct object in a cluttered image), but there will be a few false

outliers that could be removed by enforcing viewpoint consistency

constraints.

You can also try matching other images:

match('scene.pgm','box.pgm');

match('scene.pgm','basmati.pgm');

For more details, see the comments in the Matlab scripts: sift.m,

showkeys.m, and match.m.
