纯MATLAB版本 SIFT代码

先贴几个链接：

David G. Lowe的两篇标志性的文章分别叫 Object recognition from local scale-invariant features 和

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

其实我就是想在博客里保存下网上下载的纯MATLAB版本的sift代码

%% 功能：提取灰度图像的尺度不变特征（SIFT特征）
% 输入:
% im - 灰度图像，该图像的灰度值在0到1之间（注意：应首先对输入图像的灰度值进行归一化处理）
% octaves - 金字塔的组数：octaves (默认值为4).
% intervals - 该输入参数决定每组金字塔的层数(默认值为 2).
% object_mask - 确定图像中尺度不变特征点的搜索区域，如果没有特别指出，则算法将搜索整个图像
% contrast_threshold - 对比度阈值(默认值为0.03).
% curvature_threshold - 曲率阈值（默认值为10.0）.
% interactive - 函数运行显示标志，将其设定为1,则显示算法运行时间和过程的相关信息；
% 如果将其设定为2，则仅显示最终运行结果(default = 1).
%
% 输出:
% pos - Nx2 矩阵，每一行包括尺度不变特征点的坐标(x,y)
% scale - Nx3 矩阵，每一行包括尺度不变特征点的尺度信息
% (第一列是尺度不变特征点所在的组，
% 第二列是其所在的层,
% 第三列是尺度不变特征点的sigma).
% orient - Nx1 向量，每个元素是特征点的主方向，其范围在 [-pi,pi)之间.
% desc - N x 128 矩阵，每一行包含特征点的特征向量.

%% 步骤0：载入图像后归一化，并扩充成 2xN-1 大小
% 用于彻底搞懂SIFT的MATLAB版本代码的一个测试文件
clear all;clc;close all;
% im = rgb2gray(imread(‘nest.png‘));
im = imread(‘nest.png‘);
im = scjMatMap(im,0,1);

antialias_sigma = 0.5;
signal = im;

[X Y] = meshgrid( 1:0.5:size(signal,2), 1:0.5:size(signal,1) );
signal = interp2( signal, X, Y, ‘*linear‘ ); % im被扩充成  2 x N - 1  了

subsample = [0.5]; %  降采样率
%% 步骤1：生成高斯和差分高斯(DOG)金字塔
%  这两个金字塔的数据分别存储在名为
%  gauss_pyr{orient,interval}和DOG_pyr{orient,interval}
%  的元胞数组中。高斯金字塔含有s+3层，差分高斯金字塔含有s+2层。

preblur_sigma = sqrt(sqrt(2)^2 - (2*antialias_sigma)^2);

g = gaussian_filter( preblur_sigma );

gauss_pyr{1,1} = conv2( g, g, signal, ‘same‘ );
clear signal;  %  完成了初始化工作

% 第一组第一层的sigma
initial_sigma = sqrt( (2*antialias_sigma)^2 + preblur_sigma^2 );

octaves = 4;                      % 有4层金字塔
intervals = 2;                    % 每一层有2张图片    s+3
% 之所以+3，是因为：生成DOG时会减少一个图片，在计算极值的时候
% 第一个和最后一个图片不能使用，所以要+3.
% 为了保证差分高斯金字塔DOG在每一层至少有一张图片可用来寻找极值点
% 必须让高斯金字塔有+3张图片
% 最后会有octaves层，每层intervals+3张图片

% 记录每一层和每一个尺度的sigma
absolute_sigma = zeros(octaves,intervals+3);
absolute_sigma(1,1) = initial_sigma * subsample(1);

% 记录产生金字塔的滤波器的尺寸和标准差
filter_size = zeros(octaves,intervals+3);
filter_sigma = zeros(octaves,intervals+3);

% 生成高斯和差分高斯金字塔
for octave = 1:octaves

   for interval = 2:(intervals+3)
      sigma_f = sqrt(2^(2/intervals) - 1)*sigma;
      g = gaussian_filter( sigma_f );
      sigma = (2^(1/intervals))*sigma;

      % 记录sigma的值
      absolute_sigma(octave,interval) = sigma * subsample(octave);

      % 记录滤波器的尺寸和标准差
      filter_size(octave,interval) = length(g);
      filter_sigma(octave,interval) = sigma;

      gauss_pyr{octave,interval} = conv2(g,g,gauss_pyr{octave,interval-1}, ‘same‘ );
      DOG_pyr{octave}(:,:,interval-1) = ...
          gauss_pyr{octave,interval} - gauss_pyr{octave,interval-1};
   end
   if octave < octaves
      sz = size(gauss_pyr{octave,intervals+1});
      [X Y] = meshgrid( 1:2:sz(2), 1:2:sz(1) );
      gauss_pyr{octave+1,1} = interp2(gauss_pyr{octave,intervals+1},X,Y,‘*nearest‘);
