To develop and evaluate a probabilistic similarity metric for direct image matching using a Bayesian framework that models intra-object and extra-object variations.
Modeled intra-object and extra-object variations with probability density functions estimated from training data to calculate a posteriori similarity probabilities.
Introduced an image difference representation using a deformable 3D mesh in XYI-space for pixel-wise correspondence, comparing it to intensity differences and optical flow.
Evaluated performance on a challenging test set selected from the US Army FERET face database.
The deformable 3D mesh representation demonstrated superior matching performance over intensity differences and optical flow representations.
Bayesian deformation modeling effectively separated genuine identity differences from pose and expression variations on challenging FERET test imagery.
