A turbo-inspired iterative approach for correspondence problems of image features

Establishing correspondences between image features is a fundamental problem in many computer vision tasks. It is traditionally viewed as a graph matching problem, and solved using an optimization procedure. In this paper, we propose a new approach to solving the correspondence problem from a coding/decoding perspective. We then present an iterative matching algorithm inspired from the turbo-decoding concept. We provide an experimental evaluation of the proposed method, and show that it performs better than state-of-the-art algorithms in the presence of clutter, thanks to turbo-style decoding.
