Abstract

The main aim of the study is to improve the performance of image matching algorithm of Scene Matching Aided Navigation System. In the paper, corner-based image matching algorithm with automatic search of homonymous corner pairs is discussed. Gaussian Low-pass Filter with different kernels according to the spatial resolution of reference image and real-time image are applied to the image in preprocessing stage to remove noise, to get over spatial resolution difference between reference image and real-time image and to enhance the repeatability of corner detection. A novel fast corner detector, which is based on SUSAN and the geometric structure analysis, is designed to extract corner features. Normalized co-correlation algorithm is applied in search of homonymous corner pairs through a small window centering corners. A heuristic local geometrically constrained strategy is employed to remove mis-matched corner pairs in initial matching stage. In the end, matched corners, in combination with a suitable polynomial algorithm, are used to match and rectify images.
