Abstract
We propose a novel measure for template matching
named Deformable Diversity Similarity – based on the diversity of feature matches between a target image window
and the template. We rely on both local appearance and
geometric information that jointly lead to a powerful approach for matching. Our key contribution is a similarity
measure, that is robust to complex deformations, significant
background clutter, and occlusions. Empirical evaluation
on the most up-to-date benchmark shows that our method
outperforms the current state-of-the-art in its detection accuracy while improving computational complexity
