Add ASIFT to OpenCV

The prototype implementation is here: opencv/samples/python2/asift.py

History

Maria created an implementation here:
https://github.com/wg-perception/opencv_candidate/blob/master/include/opencv_candidate/feature2d.hpp
https://github.com/wg-perception/opencv_candidate/blob/master/src/opencv_candidate/feature2d.cpp

The links of @mdim mentioned in the history are no longer available. If someone is up for it, there are quite a couple of implementations out there that could be put into OpenCV using a PR

• http://www.mattsheckells.com/opencv-asift-c-implementation/
• https://bitbucket.org/xa4a/diploma/src/1046293ccb8c/prog/features/

@StevenPuttemans ,

• After PR a CUDA SIFT variant would like to work on this too.
• I found mentioned link/code of @mdim implementation, and I believe is the more appropriate.

[StevenPuttemans]

@cbalint13 so you are up to supplying the implementation through a PR?

Yes, through a new PR. Based on @mdim work. Will reference this Issue by
that PR.

[StevenPuttemans]

Perfect!

[LucaLovagnini]

@cbalint13 Any news on this?

[rdguez-mariano]

Hi,

I'm curerntly working with Jean-Michel Morel (creator of ASIFT). We have developed a new version of ASIFT together with Julie Delon. Our team will be pleased to implement an opencv version of this new ASIFT (or any IMAS method in general) if you agree.

Yours Faithfully,

Mariano Rodríguez

PS: Here's some links to our work (still in progress):

• Covering the Space of Tilts.
• Fast Affine Invariant Image Matching.

[StevenPuttemans]

@rdguez-mariano YES! This is still an open request from the community, so any contribution in this sense would be more than welcome!

[vladimir-dudnik]

any update on this?

[StevenPuttemans]

I guess the status is still identically the same. Someone needs to pick this up and provide a working implementation. So far I havent seen ASIFT in OpenCV yet.

[vladimir-dudnik]

ok, let's keep that request.

[sturkmen72]

just a note : there is asift.py

[tompollok]

Here an affine matcher for all feature types, already implemented as opencv: https://github.com/tlglovewf/ASIFT

I tested it and it works well. Its pure opencv + std code. Boost is just used for the executables. I have asked the author if it can be transferred to opencv.

@alalek is there currently any work in any gsoc about asift? Just wonderning, because i saw some activity from you regarding sift lately.

[alalek]

@tompollok Yes, there is ongoing GSoC project related to SIFT/ASIFT activities.

relates #16736

[sturkmen72]

merged!
