A unified formulation of a class of graph matching techniques

作者:

Highlights:

• We show that graph matching methods based on relaxation labeling, spectral graph theory and the tensor theory have the same mathematical form by employing power iteration technique.

• We demonstrate that differences among these methods have little impact on the final matching result according to our experiment results.

• We propose a fast framework to accelerate the matching procedure, which could greatly improve the matching performance.
