Popis: Geometric matching is a key step in computer vision tasks. Previous learning-based methods for geometric matching concentrate more on improving alignment quality, while the importance of naturalness issue is argued simultaneously. To this end, a novel homography geometric matching architecture with homography prior is proposed. Specifically, two choices for different purposes in geometric matching are provided. When compositing homography prior with affine transformation, the alignment accuracy improves and all lines are preserved, which results in a more natural transformed image. When compositing homography prior with thin-plate-spline transformation, the alignment accuracy further improves. Experimental results on Proposal Flow dataset show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods, both in terms of alignment accuracy and naturalness.
