</tt><tt><br>

</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> Local Image Descriptors in Computer Vision
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> ----------------------------------------------
</tt><tt><br>
</tt>
<tt><br>
</tt><tt>Local image descriptors are involved in a multitude of
relevant computer
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>vision tasks dealing with point correspondences among
several images,
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>from registration through detection to classification.
This has ensured
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>that local image descriptors remained an evergreen topic
through the
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>years, up to the modern solutions and challenges arising
from deep
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>learning advances, big data and hardware improvements.
This special
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>issue will provide the computer vision community with the
opportunity
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>to systematically collect and share the latest
developments and trends
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>on this active research field. It will also offer
scientists the chance
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>to propose original ideas and uncommon approaches, out of
the mainstream
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>ones, and open to unexplored research directions.
</tt><tt><br>
</tt>
<tt><br>
</tt><tt>Topics include, but are not limited to:
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- recent advances in local image detector and descriptor
design
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- handcrafted vs deep and general data-driven local
descriptors
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- time and storage efficient descriptor solutions
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- local image descriptors for large-scale scenarios
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- enhanced matching with statistical and spatial
constraints
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- uncommon and innovative applications of local
descriptors
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- deep local descriptors interpretation and visualization
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- descriptor evaluation, new benchmark protocols and
datasets
</tt><tt><br>
