The Feature Extraction and Matching Algorithm Based on the Fire Video Image Orientation

Abstract

Because the SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) algorithm can not accurately locate the flame shape features and computationally intensive, this article proposed a stereo video image fire flame matching method which is a combination of Harris corner and SIFT algorithm. Firstly, the algorithm extracts image feature points using Harris operator in Gaussian scale space and defines the main directions for each feature point, and then calculates the 32-dimensional feature vectors of each feature point descriptor and the Euclidean distance to match two images. Experimental results of image matching demonstrate that the new algorithm improves the significance of the shape of the extracted feature points and keep a better match rate of 96%. At the same time the time complexity is reduced by 27.8%. This algorithm has a certain practicality.
