Abstract
Feature detection and matching are an essential component of many computer vision applications. Consider the two pairs of images shown in Figure 4.2. For the first pair, we may wish to align the two images so that they can be seamlessly stitched into a composite mosaic (Chapter 9). For the second pair, we may wish to establish a dense set of correspondences so that a 3D model can be constructed or an in-between view can be generated (Chapter 11). In either case, what kinds of features should you detect and then match in order to establish such an alignment or set of correspondences? Think about this for a few moments before reading on.
