The invention discloses an image staged matching and positioning method, and relates to the technical field of
image analysis. Comprising the following specific steps: constructing a
model architecture, and inputting an unmanned aerial vehicle image u; candidate images {u, Si} are screened through global
semantic feature matching; the method comprises the following steps: extracting image key points and description words, establishing an initial matching
point pair set, introducing a mismatching screening mechanism, executing
homography transformation on
geotagging information in a
satellite image, and determining ground target positioning under the
view angle of an unmanned aerial vehicle. According to the method, through a mode of combining global feature optimization and local mismatching screening, accurate positioning of a ground target under the
view angle of the unmanned aerial vehicle is realized, and an
optimal matching candidate is rapidly screened out; in the
local matching stage, mismatching point pairs are eliminated, and the
geotagging information in the
satellite image is accurately mapped to the unmanned aerial vehicle image coordinate
system through
homography transformation, so that the
image matching problem under the large
view angle change is effectively solved, and the accuracy and efficiency of
image matching and positioning are improved.
