Using outlier elimination to assess learning-based correspondence matching methods (2024)
Journal Article
Ding, X., Luo, Y., Jie, B., Li, Q., & Cheng, Y. (2024). Using outlier elimination to assess learning-based correspondence matching methods. Information Sciences, 659, Article 120056. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2023.120056

Recently, deep learning (DL) technology has been widely used in correspondence matching. The learning-based models are usually trained on benign image pairs with partial overlaps. Since DL model is usually data-dependent, non-overlapping images may b... Read More about Using outlier elimination to assess learning-based correspondence matching methods.
