In a previous publication [1], we created a dataset of feature patches for detection model training. In this paper, we use the same patches to create a new large synthetic dataset of feature pairs, similar and different, in order to perform, thanks to a siamese convolutional model, the description and matching of the detected features. We thus complete the entire matching pipeline. The accurate manual labeling of image features being very difficult because of their large number and the various associated parameters of position, scale and rotation, recent deep learning models use the result of handcrafted methods for training. Compared to existing datasets, ours avoids model training with false detections of the extraction of feature patches by other algorithms, or with inaccuracy errors of manual labeling. The other advantage of synthetic patches is that we can control their content (corners, edges, etc.), as well as their geometric and photometric parameters, and therefore we control the invariance of the model. The proposed datasets thus allow a new approach to train the different matching modules without using traditional methods. To our knowledge, these are the first feature datasets based on generated synthetic patches for image matching. |
