An Optimized Variational Bayesian Point Set Matching Approach using Coordinate Ascent and Simulated Annealing

Aiming at the interference problem of outliers in point set matching, we propose an optimized variational Bayesian point set matching algorithm using coordinate ascent and simulated annealing. For the complex terms in the objective function, we introduce the coordinate ascending strategy and use the Monte Carlo integral stochastic approximation and control variable method to directly optimize the parameters. To enhance the generalization ability of the algorithm and avoid falling into the local optimal solution, we use the simulated annealing scheme to optimize the spatial mapping of the point set. Finally, the affine transform point set matching experiment and the non-rigid point set matching experiment represent our algorithm have a good matching effect and high accuracy.
