“Alternatively, Capuano et al. [32] introduced a new IP scheme in which three different parallel processing streams, which use the Shi-Tommasi (ST) corners detector, the HT, and the Line Segment Detector (LSD), are exploited in order to filter three sets of points and improve the robustness of the feature detection.”

In the citing paper
“While all of the above metrics rely upon gradient magnitudes, gradient orientation on its own has been widely used for feature matching (Lowe 2004), object detection (Dalal and Triggs 2005), and image registration (De Nigris et al 2012), and shown promise in robust matching under partial occlusion and view point changes.”

“Traditional methods may require complex feature matching algorithms (e.g., SIFT, SURF) or additional classifiers (e.g., SVM), whereas the MobileNetV2 network model directly utilizes features extracted by the deep learning model to perform comparison, which simplifies the process [27,28].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
