The current paper presents a robust image salient region extraction and matching algorithm based on the maximally stable extremal regions in the difference of Gaussian scale space (DoGSS-MSERs) combined with scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm and the maximally stable extremal regions (MSERs) algorithm. First, the difference of Gaussian scale space (DoGSS) is constructed using image scale-space theory. The maximally stable extremal regions are then calculated and the stable component is extracted with blur-invariant and scale-invariant property using the stable method in the DoGSS. Finally, the regions are described with a novel region descriptor, thereby achieving matching. The experiments show that the feature regions extracted in the current paper inherit the good properties of SIFT and MSERs (scale-invariant and affine-invariant) and are more stable and more accurate for matching.
