A method and system for extracting a visual descriptor using a feature selection are provided. The system includes an image input unit configured to receive an image, a candidate feature point group detecting unit configured to detect a point having a local maximum or minimum of local region filtering in scale-space images as being included in a candidate feature point group, a feature point selecting unit configured to calculate an importance for each candidate feature point, depending on its characteristics, select the candidate feature point as a feature point when its importance is greater than the predetermined threshold value, a dominant orientation calculating unit configured to calculate a dominant orientation of the selected feature point and a visual descriptor extracting unit configured to extract a patch for each feature point, according to its scale, location and dominant orientation, and extract a visual descriptor from the patch.

Method of extracting visual descriptor using feature selection and system for the same

A feature descriptor extracting method in a feature descriptor extracting apparatus is provided. The feature descriptor extracting method involves receiving an image from which a feature descriptor will be extracted, extracting a point at which a change in a pixel statistical value of the image is large as a feature point, and extracting a patch centered on the feature point, blocking the patch to calculate a statistical value of each of a plurality of patch blocks, calculating a morphological gradient by using a statistical value of the block-converted patch, and extracting a feature descriptor by using the morphological gradient in consideration of required feature descriptor complexity.
