Abstract

The invention discloses a low-altitude remote sensing image high-precision matching method with consistent image space. Firstly, SURF feature matching is carried out on the top layer of an image pyramid, and an affine transformation relation between a base image and a search image is built; then, feature point extraction is carried out on the base image, the affine transformation relation is used as a geometric constraint condition, a feature point window is switched to the search image, meanwhile, a window of the search image is corrected and re-sampled to be in an image space coordinate system of the base image, correlation coefficient matching is carried out, polynomial iteration is used for removing a gross error, obtained corresponding image points are utilized for resolving and updating the affine transformation relation between the base image and the search image again, and then the lower-layer image matching is carried out until bottom-layer image matching; finally, a matching result is converted to be under an image space coordinate system of the search image, and high-precision least squares matching is carried out. The method solves the problems that due to the fact that the problems of large rotating, geometry deformation and the like exist in the image space, the matching success rate is low, and a failure easily happens, and the matching efficiency and the success rate of a low-altitude image are greatly improved.

Embodiment Construction

[0009] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0010] The high-precision matching method of low-altitude remote sensing images with consistent image space includes two core processes: initial image matching based on SURF features and precise image matching with geometric constraints. The two processes are described in detail below:

[0011] Based on the initial image matching of SURF features, the affine transformation relationship between the reference image and the search image is established. The SURF operator is a very well-known operator in the fields of computer vision and photogrammetry. It is widely used in many fields due to its anti-rotation and scale-invariant characteristics. Although SURF feature matching has the above-mentioned excellent characteristics, the algorithm itself ex...
