Feature-guided Gaussian mixture model for image matching

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a feature-guided Gaussian mixture model for robust feature matching.

• The method is general which can handle both rigid and non-rigid deformations.

• We provide theoretical derivations of our method and explain why and how it works.

• Our method generates more ‘true feature matches’ than other state-of-the-art methods.

• We applied the method to various matching problems in different research communities.
