Abstract

Feature extraction of images can be applied to image matching, image searching, object recognition, image tracking etc. One of the effective methods to extract features of images is Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) [1], In this paper, we indicate problems of SIFT and propose a method to improve its performance by applying Bilateral Filter [2]. In addition, we implement its acceleration by GPGPU (general purpose GPU), apply this method to generic object recognition and perform a comparison experiment. We compare the proposed method with the original method using SIFT and confirm improvement of the identification rate by the proposed method.
