Feature detection and description for image matching: from hand-crafted design to deep learning

Figures & data

Figure 1. Feature detection and description pipeline

Figure 2. A timeline highlighting some landmark papers for feature detection, orientation assignment and affine shape adaption

Figure 3. The literature timeline for feature description. For better viewing of the whole graph, some closely linked papers are combined into one block with an +1 year difference, e.g. all the binary descriptors including ORB, BRISK, BRIEF and FREAK are combined into one block
