Mismatching Removal for Feature-Point Matching Based on Triangular Topology Probability Sampling Consensus

Feature-point matching between two images is a fundamental process in remote-sensing applications, such as image registration. However, mismatching is inevitable, and it needs to be removed. It is difficult for existing methods to remove a high ratio of mismatches. To address this issue, a robust me...

description Feature-point matching between two images is a fundamental process in remote-sensing applications, such as image registration. However, mismatching is inevitable, and it needs to be removed. It is difficult for existing methods to remove a high ratio of mismatches. To address this issue, a robust method, called triangular topology probability sampling consensus (TSAC), is proposed, which combines the topology network and resampling methods. The proposed method constructs the triangular topology of the feature points of two images, quantifies the mismatching probability for each point pair, and then weights the probability into the random process of RANSAC by calculating the optimal homography matrix between the two images so that the mismatches can be detected and removed. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, TSAC has superior performances in accuracy and robustness.
