Approximate Nearest Neighbor Fields in Video
We introduce RIANN (Ring Intersection Approximate Nearest Neighbor search),
an algorithm for matching patches of a video to a set of reference patches in
real-time. For each query, RIANN finds potential matches by intersecting rings
around key points in appearance space. Its search complexity is reversely
correlated to the amount of temporal change, making it a good fit for videos,
where typically most patches change slowly with time. Experiments show that
RIANN is up to two orders of magnitude faster than previous ANN methods, and is
the only solution that operates in real-time. We further demonstrate how RIANN
can be used for real-time video processing and provide examples for a range of
real-time video applications, including colorization, denoising, and several
artistic effects.Comment: A CVPR 2015 oral pape
