  • A statistical model for the feature descriptor of local region was suggested to improve the image matching performance. This model is a marginal integration function model based on the gradient magnitude and orientation distribution. The marginal integration function on the discrete gradient orientations is the same as the magnitude accumulation orientation histogram of gradient vector field. Using the nonparametric estimator based on kernel function, we estimated this function and applied it to scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) descriptor. To enhance rotation invariance and distinctiveness and to reduce computational complexity for descriptor, local region around the feature point was selected as circle and partitioned to the 8 sub-regions by radial sampling grid. The marginal expectation functions are estimated in each sub-region and the feature vector consists of the function values on the 8 orientations for 8 sub-regions. Experiments show that this descriptor can improve detective rate (recall) for rotation and reduce computational complexity.
