Technical Field

The invention relates to an image matching technology, in particular to a matching method of remote sensing images.

Background

The remote sensing imaging technology is widely applied to the fields of target positioning, geological survey, earth surface environment change detection and the like. Image matching is one of the research hotspots of remote sensing imaging technology. The remote sensing image matching refers to a process of correcting two or more remote sensing images of the same scene under different radiation and geometric conditions. In remote sensing applications, different sensors, different times, different angles, different times, different brightness, etc. factors are very common. Therefore, the research on matching of different remote sensing images is of great significance.

Image matching methods are generally classified into region-based and feature-based methods. In region-based approaches, developers focus on feature matching steps rather than feature detection, which may result in poor feature detection. And such methods are not able to match the same part of a particular scene if the image is distorted by a complex transformation. The method based on the characteristics extracts stable structural characteristics such as regions, line segments or points as the characteristics to obtain all assumed differences among images and characteristic descriptors with complex transformation invariance and robustness. Feature-based methods are the main research methods due to their robustness and reliability.

Feature-based image matching methods typically involve four important stages. First, important feature points or key points are extracted from a target image and a reference image. These key descriptors are then constructed, which are unaffected by viewport and lighting variations. The target and reference images are then matched according to the extracted features and their descriptors, and outlier matching pairs are detected and removed by a suitable mapping function (RANSAC). In the final stage, when there are many outliers, the mapping function cannot remove the wrong matching pair, thus causing the matching process to fail.

The scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm is one of the popular algorithms for image feature matching, and is constant for image translation, scaling, rotation, and invariant for light variations and affine projection. In the SIFT image matching algorithm, the extracted key points have certain robustness on the proportion and rotation change between two images. Due to the high resolution and complexity of the remote sensing image, the SIFT algorithm for matching the remote sensing image also has the problems of insufficient utilization of image information, unstable feature extraction quantity, poor matching precision, long matching time and the like.

And step S3-3, calculating the relative difference RDC between the complexity of the key points of the target image and the complexity of the key points of the reference image.

In step S3-3, the number of keypoints extracted from the target image and the reference image, which are individually extracted by controlling the Tcf of each image, minimizes CiK relative difference between the target image and the reference image. Thus, the relative difference of CiK between the standard RDC, the reference image, and the target image is defined as follows:

And step S5-2, a correct matching pair is designated by a RANSAC outlier rejection method, and an incorrect matching point is deleted to obtain a matching result.

In step S6, if the matching result satisfies the predetermined condition, the target image and the reference image are matched, and if the matching result does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the target image and the reference image are not matched.

In the present embodiment, in the specific operations of step S5 and step S6, the image matching module first accepts an image pair from the feature extraction module that has performed feature extraction, and performs feature matching of corresponding feature points by combining the extracted key points and the generated CACT-SIFT descriptors. And then rejecting outliers according to a RANSAC (random consensus test) method, rejecting mismatching points and performing matching optimization. And finally, obtaining the optimal matching result of the two matched images. And if the matching result meets the set condition, judging that the two images are matched completely. And if the matching result does not meet the corresponding condition, judging that the two images are not similar images and cannot be matched.

Effects and effects of the embodiments

According to the matching method of the remote sensing images, the method is based on the image complexity calculation and contrast threshold self-adaptive adjustment method, and the image complexity is calculated and the overall information of the image is combined, so that the effect of image feature extraction is improved. In addition, the method combines the gray level co-occurrence matrix and the analytic hierarchy process to quantitatively calculate the complexity information of the image, so that the remote sensing image can be more efficiently matched. In addition, by calculating the complexity of the image key points, the control parameters of the key points are estimated according to the complexity of the image and the number of the key points. And in the threshold value iteration updating stage, the comprehensive information of the two images to be matched is considered, so that a matching result is obtained. Therefore, the method can be applied to matching of the copied remote sensing image, can detect the information of the reference image and the target image simultaneously, can robustly extract key points, fully utilizes the image information, saves the matching time, has better alignment precision and real-time performance, and is better applied to a plurality of fields of environment monitoring, terrain surveying, military reconnaissance, disaster early warning and the like.

Further, according to the matching method of the remote sensing images in the embodiment, because the weight relationship among the five characteristic values is analyzed by adopting an analytic hierarchy process, the five characteristic values can be systematically analyzed, and the method is simple and practical.

Further, according to the matching method of the remote sensing images related to the embodiment, in step 3, the RDC of the relative difference between the target image key point complexity and the reference image key point complexity is obtained by calculating the target image key point complexity and the reference image key point complexity, and whether the RDC is the minimum value or not is determined, and the contrast threshold is adjusted to make the RDC reach the minimum value, so that the optimal threshold result is obtained. Therefore, the accuracy of the optimal threshold result is improved by the contrast threshold adjustment method.

Further, according to the matching method of the remote sensing images related to the embodiment, because the matching pair is obtained by the CACT-SIFT descriptor and the nearest neighbor bilinear method, the method is small in external interference factor and high in matching efficiency in the image matching process.

Further, according to the matching method of the remote sensing images in the embodiment, outliers are rejected through a random consistency check method, mismatching points are removed, and image matching optimization is performed, so that many abnormal values can be effectively removed of mismatching pairs, and the success rate of image matching is improved.
