The Likelihood-Ratio Test and Efficient Robust Estimation

ICCV 2015  ·  Andrea Cohen, Christopher Zach ·

Robust estimation of model parameters in the presence of outliers is a key problem in computer vision. RANSAC inspired techniques are widely used in this context, although their application might be limited due to the need of a priori knowledge on the inlier noise level. We propose a new approach for jointly optimizing over model parameters and the inlier noise level based on the likelihood ratio test. This allows control over the type I error incurred. We also propose an early bailout strategy for efficiency. Tests on both synthetic and real data show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art in a fraction of the time.
