Brute force matching of binary image feature descriptors is conventionally performed using the Hamming distance. The use of alternative metrics is assessed in order to see whether they can produce feature correspondences that yield more accurate homography matrices. Two statistical tests, namely analysis of variance (ANOVA) and McNemar's test were employed for the evaluation. Results show that Jackard-Needham and Dice metrics can display better performance for some descriptors. Yet, these performance differences were not found to be statistically significant.
