Neural Network-based Local Feature Descriptors for Matching Excavated Mokkan Fragments of Various Sizes

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a method to predict whether two excavated Mokkan fragments of various sizes are from the same tablet or not using an end-to-end attention-based neural network, namely A-VLAD. The method does not require any preprocessing stages such as binarization and segmentation. It has three main parts: a local feature extractor using Convolutional Neural Network from an input image, an attention filter for key-points selection, and a generalized deep neural network-based VLAD model to aggregate the extracted key-points and form a representative vector. The whole network is trained end-to-end using the stochastic gradient descent algorithm to optimize both cross-entropy and triplet losses. In the experiments, we evaluate the proposed model on 13,205 fragments broken from 556 complete wooden tablets excavated from the Heijo-Kyo Palace ruins in the Japanese Nara period. The proposed A-VLAD model achieved mean average precision of 75.5% and top-1 accuracy of 87.9% better than the state-of-the-art methods on this Mokkan dataset. Thus, it is expected to be used to support archaeologists to assemble Mokkan fragments to recover an original Mokkan tablet.
