Abstract:
Low altitude image matching with re peated texture may have a small amount of corresponding points or beunsuccessful because of ambiguous matching.To solve the problem aphase correlation method supportes low altitude aerial image matching with re peated texture is proposed.The method estimates the traversal range of corresponding points including translation rotation and scale space.The traversal range is estimated by a cross -power spectrum of the image Fourier transform and a complex con jugate of another image Fourier transform.Next Harris-Laplace scale space is estimated by the scale traversal range and corners detection.Thencorresponding point matching is a chieved by a correlation coefficient and epipolar constraint.The experimental results show that the method may be reliable and practical for low altitude images matching with a re peated textureand obtains enough and well-distributed corresponding points.
