This study evaluates an Adaptive Probability-Oriented Feature Matching method and proposes several improvements to achieve more robust matching. Performance comparisons show that these improvements outperform other methods in the visual odometry framework, such as standard visual odometry and RANSAC-based methods.
Feature matching is a key technique for a wide variety of computer vision and image processing applications such as visual localization. It permits finding correspondences of significant points within the environment that eventually determine the localization of a mobile agent. In this context, this work evaluates an Adaptive Probability-Oriented Feature Matching (APOFM) method that dynamically models the visual knowledge of the environment in terms of the probability of existence of features. Several improvements are proposed to achieve a more robust matching in a visual odometry framework: a study on the classification of the matching candidates, enhanced by a nearest neighbour search policy; a dynamic weighted matching that exploits the probability of feature existence in order to tune the matching thresholds; and an automatic false positive detector. Additionally, a comparison of performance is carried out, considering a publicly available dataset composed of two kinds of wide field-of-view images: catadioptric and fisheye. Overall, the results validate the appropriateness of these contributions, which outperform other well-recognized implementations within this framework, such as the standard visual odometry, a visual odometry method based on RANSAC, as well as the basic APOFM. The analysis shows that fisheye images provide more visual information of the scene, with more feature candidates. Contrarily, omnidirectional images produce fewer feature candidates, but with higher ratios of feature acceptance. Finally, it is concluded that improved precision is obtained when the location problem is solved by this method.
