In this paper, we propose a method for detecting ScaleInvariant Point Feature(SIPF) including 3D keypoints Detector and feature descriptor. To detect SIPF, we first estimate a keyscale for point cloud, and calculate the covariance matrix of each 3D point. Keypoints are the saliency points who have a fast change speed along with all principal directions. Then the descriptors are encoded based on the shape of a border or silhouette of an object to be detected or recognized. Experimental results with the Stanford datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can be effectively used for 3D point clouds expression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
