EL: Local Image Descriptor Based on Extreme Responses to Partial Derivatives of 2D Gaussian Function

Table 1

Verification, matching, and retrieval results obtained for the EL, SIFT, and RootSIFT descriptor, and the deep-learning-based descriptors DC-S and DC-S2S [18], DDESC [19], and TF-M and TF-R [20]. All results are reported in mAP(%). The scores are given in pairs. The first value represents the score obtained with the basic method and the second with its ZCA variant [26]. Best result in a column is given in bold.
