By introducing a latent variable that classifies the matches as true or false, we specifically focus on the application of geometric constrains to the keypoint matching process and the achievement of robust estimates of the geometric transformation between two images showing the same object. Our experiments in a challenging image retrieval database demonstrate that our approach outperforms the most prevalent approach for geometrically constrained matching, and compares favorably to other state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, the proposed technique concurrently provides very good segmentations of the region of interest.[+][-]
