  • Abstract
    SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) feature is identified as being invariant to common image deformations caused by the rotation, scaling, and illumination. In this paper, instead of using SIFT´s smoothed weighted orientation histograms, we apply vector quantization (VQ) histogram as an alternate representation for local image descriptor. Experimental results demonstrate that the VQ-based local descriptors are more robust to image deformations.
