Match two images

[muhammadhemdan]

Hello, Can I use this algorithm to match two images? I'm using opencv ORB to detect and compute the key points and the descriptors.

Apologies for the late response.

Short Answer: Yes

So long as we can represent images as vectors where cosine similarity (or euclidean distance, or Jaccard distance) between the embedded vectors is a good indicator of semantic similarity, we can totally use it.

ORB, as we can say, is similar to SIFT and so we need to extract ORB and do some Bag-of-words embeddings (where distance relates to semantic similarity) and then we can use FLASH. We have done Images matching in past using similar algorithm (500x cheaper than openCV): Check out: https://www.cs.rice.edu/~as143/Papers/CAPSULE.pdf https://www.cs.rice.edu/~as143/presentations/CaPSuLe.pptx

as well as WTA (winner takes all) https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.01834
