Abstract

Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm has drawn great attention from computer vision engineers since it was proposed in 1999. However, the high computational complexity of the algorithm has hindered its application. In this paper, a fast SIFT algorithm is proposed, in which FIR Gaussian filters are replaced by recursive filters. Experimental results show that the proposed fast SIFT method needs less computation and yields nearly the same performance compares to original method. It is also recognized that the impulse response approximation error can be used as a good measure to estimate performance degradation of SIFT algorithm in recursive Gaussian filters. Furthermore, through using recursive filters, more choices of the values of prior smoothing scale can be made without considering the number of operations.
