The Information & Mutual Information Ratio for Counting Image Features and Their Matches

1 code implementation14 May 2020 Ali Khajegili Mirabadi, Stefano Rini

The IR is a feature of a single image, while the MIR describes features common across two or more images. We begin by introducing the IR and the MIR and motivate these features in an information theoretical context as the ratio of the self-information of an intensity level over the information contained over the pixels of the same intensity.
