Explore advanced computer vision concepts in this 31-minute lecture from the University of Central Florida's CAP5415 course. Dive into corner detection techniques using auto-correlation and mathematical approaches. Learn about the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and gain a comprehensive understanding of the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm. Discover the intricacies of automatic scale selection, orientation estimation, and descriptor formation in SIFT. Examine alternative kernels and local maxima detection in position-scale space. Conclude with a review of local descriptors, enhancing your knowledge of feature extraction and image analysis techniques.
