Invertible local image descriptors learned with variational autoencoders

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for learning local image descriptor and its inversion function using a variational autoencoder (VAE). We design a loss function of the VAE specifically for this purpose, which, on one hand, incentivises …

Learned BRIEF : transferring the knowledge from hand-crafted to learning-based descriptors

In this paper, we present a novel approach for designing local image descriptors that learn from data and from hand-crafted descriptors. In particular, we construct a learning model that first mimics the behaviour of a hand-crafted descriptor and …

Autoencoder-learned local image descriptor for image inpainting

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for learning local image descriptors suitable for the use in image inpainting algorithms. We learn the descriptors using a convolutional autoencoder network that we design such that the network produces a …

Learning Local Image Descriptors with Autoencoders

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for learning local image descriptors with convolutional autoencoders. We design an autoencoder architecture that yields computationally efficient extraction of patch descriptors through an intermediate …
