PT Journal AU Cristhian Aguilera Fernando Barrera Felipe Lumbreras Angel Sappa Ricardo Toledo TI Multispectral Image Feature Points SO Sensors JI SENS PY 2012 BP 12661 EP 12672 VL 12 IS 9 DI 10.3390/s120912661 DE multispectral image descriptor; color and infrared images; feature point descriptor AB Far-Infrared and Visible Spectrum images. It allows matching interest points on images of the same scene but acquired in different spectral bands. Initially, points of interest are detected on both images through a SIFT-like based scale space representation. Then, these points are characterized using an Edge Oriented Histogram (EOH) descriptor. Finally, points of interest from multispectral images are matched by finding nearest couples using the information from the descriptor. The provided experimental results and comparisons with similar methods show both the validity of the proposed approach as well as the improvements it offers with respect to the current state-of-the-art.
