MODS: Fast and Robust Method for Two-View Matching

Understand

A novel algorithm for wide-baseline matching called MODS - Matching On Demand with view Synthesis - is presented.

• The MODS algorithm is experimentally shown to solve a broader range of wide-baseline problems than the state of the art while being nearly as fast as standard matchers on simple problems.
• The apparent robustness vs.
• speed trade-off is finessed by the use of progressively more time-consuming feature detectors and by on-demand generation of synthesized images that is performed until a reliable estimate of geometry is obtained.
