We investigate transform coding to eciently store and transmit SIFT and SURF image descriptors. We show that image and feature matching algorithms are robust to significantly compressed features. We achieve near- perfect image matching and retrieval for both SIFT and SURF using »2 bits/dimension. When applied to SIFT and SURF, this provides a 16◊ compression relative to conventional floating point representation. We establish a strong correlation between MSE and matching error for feature points and images. Feature compression enables many application that may not otherwise be possible, especially on mobile devices.
