  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose an improved SIFT algorithm based on FAST corner detection. We first estimate the level of the pyramid by the size of the image. Then, at each level, we estimate the threshold by the image content. By the threshold, we implement the FAST corner detection. At each level, the FAST corner detection, generation of SIFT descriptors and coordinate mapping are implemented by Wagner´s idea. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm has the similar matching performance and runs faster.
