Vintimilla Angel Sappa TI Feature Point Descriptors: Infrared and Visible Spectra SO Sensors JI SENS PY 2014 BP 3690 EP 3701 VL 14 IS 2 DI 10.3390/s140203690 AB This manuscript evaluates the behavior of classical feature point descriptors when they are used in images from long-wave infrared spectral band and compare them with the results obtained in the visible spectrum. Robustness to changes in rotation, scaling, blur, and additive noise are analyzed using a state of the art framework. Experimental results using a cross-spectral outdoor image data set are presented and conclusions from these experiments are given. ER
