To introduce Best-Buddies Similarity (BBS) and Best-Buddies Pairs (BBPs).
To demonstrate the effectiveness of BBS in challenging, unconstrained environments.

Main Methods:

Developed Best-Buddies Similarity (BBS), a metric based on mutual nearest neighbors (Best-Buddies Pairs).
Analyzed the statistical properties of BBS for robustness against geometric deformations and outliers.
Validated BBS on a challenging real-world dataset using diverse features.

Main Results:

BBS demonstrated high robustness against complex geometric transformations.
The method effectively handles significant levels of outliers caused by clutter and occlusion.
Consistent success was achieved on a challenging real-world dataset.

Conclusions:

Best-Buddies Similarity (BBS) offers a powerful and parameter-free solution for template matching.
BBS provides a robust approach for identifying point set correspondences in unconstrained environments.
The method shows significant promise for various computer vision tasks.
