In practice, affine invariant interest points can be obtained by applying affine shape adaptation to a blob descriptor, where the shape of the smoothing kernel is iteratively warped to match the local image structure around the blob, or equivalently a local image patch is iteratively warped while the shape of the smoothing kernel remains. Pdf image matching using generalized scalespace interest points. The use of interest points also goes back to the notion of regions of interest, which have been used to signal the presence of objects, often formulated in terms of the output of a blob detection step.

The detector deems a region salient if it exhibits unpredictability in both its attributes and its spatial scale. A novel target detection method based on affine invariant interest point detection, feature encoding, and largemargin dimensionality reduction ldr is proposed for optical remote sensing images. The hessian affine also uses a multiple scale iterative algorithm to spatially localize and select scale and affine invariant points.
Our scale invariant detector computes a multiscale representation for the harris interest point detector and then selects points at which a local measure the laplacian is maximal over scales.
