Detailed Description#

Class implementing TEBLID (Triplet-based Efficient Binary Local Image Descriptor), described in Suarez2021TEBLID.

TEBLID stands for Triplet-based Efficient Binary Local Image Descriptor, although originally it was called BAD Suarez2021TEBLID. It is an improvement over BEBLID Suarez2020BEBLID, that uses triplet loss, hard negative mining, and anchor swap to improve the image matching results. It is able to describe keypoints from any detector just by changing the scale_factor parameter. TEBLID is as efficient as ORB, BEBLID or BRISK, but the triplet-based training objective selected more discriminative features that explain the accuracy gain. It is also more compact than BEBLID, when running the AKAZE example with 10000 keypoints detected by ORB, BEBLID obtains 561 inliers (75%) with 512 bits, whereas TEBLID obtains 621 (75.2%) with 256 bits. ORB obtains only 493 inliers (63%).

The descriptor was trained in Liberty split of the UBC datasets winder2007learning .

Member Enumeration Documentation#

enum TeblidSize

Descriptor number of bits, each bit is a box average difference. The user can choose between 256 or 512 bits.

SIZE_256_BITS

SIZE_512_BITS

Member Function Documentation#

create()#

static Ptr< TEBLID > cv::xfeatures2d::TEBLID::create(
float scale_factor,
int n_bits = TEBLID::SIZE_256_BITS )

Creates the TEBLID descriptor.

Parameters

  • scale_factor — Adjust the sampling window around detected keypoints:

    • 1.00f should be the scale for ORB keypoints

    • 6.75f should be the scale for SIFT detected keypoints

    • 6.25f is default and fits for KAZE, SURF detected keypoints

    • 5.00f should be the scale for AKAZE, MSD, AGAST, FAST, BRISK keypoints

  • n_bits — Determine the number of bits in the descriptor. Should be either TEBLID::SIZE_256_BITS or TEBLID::SIZE_512_BITS.

getDefaultName()#

String cv::xfeatures2d::TEBLID::getDefaultName()

Returns the algorithm string identifier. This string is used as top level xml/yml node tag when the object is saved to a file or string.
