Abstract

Recently, deep learning (DL) technology has been widely used in correspondence matching. The learning-based models are usually trained on benign image pairs with partial overlaps. Since DL model is usually data-dependent, non-overlapping images may be used as poison samples to fool the model and produce false registrations. In this study, we propose an outlier elimination based assessment method (OEAM) to assess the registrations of learning-based correspondence matching method on partially overlapping and non-overlapping images. OEAM first eliminates outliers based on spatial paradox. Then OEAM implements registration assessment in two streams using the obtained core correspondence set. If the cardinality of the core set is sufficiently small, the input registration is assessed as a low-quality registration. Otherwise, it is assessed to be of high quality, and OEAM improves its registration performance using the core set. OEAM is a post-processing technique imposed on learning-based method. The comparison experiments are implemented on outdoor (YFCC100M) and indoor (SUN3D) datasets using four deep learning-based methods. The experimental results on registrations of partially overlapping images show that OEAM can reliably infer low-quality registrations and improve performance on high-quality registrations. The experiments on registrations of non-overlapping images demonstrate that learning-based methods are vulnerable to poisoning attacks launched by non overlapping images, and OEAM is robust against poisoning attacks crafted by non-overlapping images.
