Popis: "The detection and description of locally salient regions is one of the most widely used low-level processes in modern computer vision systems. The general approach relies on the detection of stable and invariant image features that can be uniquely charac- terized using compact descriptors. Many detection and description algorithms have been proposed, most of them derived using different assumptions or problem models. This work presents a comparison of different approaches towards the feature extraction problem, namely: (1) standard computer vision techniques; (2) automatic synthesis techniques based on genetic programming (GP); and (3) a new local descriptor based on composite correlation filtering, proposed for the first time in this paper. The considered methods are evaluated on a difficult real-world problem, vision-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Using three experimental scenarios, results indicate that the GP-based methods and the correlation filtering techniques outperform widely used computer vision algorithms such as the Harris and Shi-Tomasi detectors and the Speeded Up Robust Features descriptor."
