PRIORITIZING IN SEGMENT MATCHING

摘要

A method for matching digital images, including regularization of image features of a first digital image, composed of pixels, providing a second digital image, composed of pixels, defining a finite set of candidate values, wherein a candidate value represents a candidate for a possible match between image features of the first image and image features of the second image, establishing a matching penalty function for evaluation of the candidate values, evaluating the matching penalty function for every candidate value, selection of a candidate value based on the result of the evaluation of the matching penalty function, regularization of the first image by segmentation of the first image, including assigning at least part of the pixels of the image to respective segments, determining a pixel importance parameter for at least part of the pixels of a segment, the pixel importance parameter representing the relative importance of each of the pixels, and establishing the matching penalty function to be at least partially based on the pixel importance parameter.
