description Remote sensing image registration has been widely applied in military and civilian fields, such as target recognition, visual navigation and change detection. The dynamic changes in the sensing environment and sensors bring differences to feature point detection in amount and quality, which is still a common and intractable challenge for feature-based registration approaches. With such multiple perturbations, the extracted feature points representing the same physical location in space may have different location accuracy. Most existing matching methods focus on recovering the optimal feature correspondences while they ignore the diversities of different points in position, which easily brings the model into a bad local extrema, especially when existing with the outliers and noises. In this paper, we present a novel accuracy-aware registration model for remote sensing. A soft weighting is designed for each sample to preferentially select more reliable sample points. To better estimate the transformation between input images, an optimal sparse approximation is applied to approach the transformation by multiple iterations, which effectively reduces the computation complexity and also improves the accuracy of approximation. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in both matching accuracy and correct matches.
