The Importance Of Image Matching

Image shape matching is prime concern in object recognition and identification methods. An image matching is a means of determining the resemblance of one image with the other image. Images are matched based on their shape and texture and it finds variety of applications ranging from image retrieval, object recognition, remote sensing, image classification, image analysis and so on. In general, image matching techniques are classified into structure- based [1] [2] and feature-based [3][4] methods. Structure-based methods compare the shape/ structure and the size of the images, whereas the feature- based methods examine the image features like color and texture in addition to size and shape. Therefore, the image shape and size are the most …show more content…

By searching correct feature point and setting bidirectional threshold value,the matching process can be quickly and precisely implemented with optimistic result. The resemblance of two images is defined as the overall similarity between two families of image features[1]. Same proportion image matching algorithm using bi-directional threshold image matching technique is used. Small window of pixels in a reference image (template) is compared with equally sized windows of pixels in other (target) images. In FBM, instead of matching all pixels in an image, only selected points with certain features are to be matched. Area based matching provide low speed. feature based matching algorithm is faster in comparison to the area based matching technique. feature based matching time complexity depend on number of feature to be selected as well as right or wrong threshold. If the number of feature are high then sometimes it takes more computational time in comparison to area based feature. The number of features extracted from an image depends largely on the contents of an image. If there are high variations then features computed are high. This reduces time efficiency to
