Abstract: Aiming at the problems of image ghosting, perspective distortion and long time consumption when UAV image matching, this paper proposes an improved APAP algorithm. First, this algorithm uses SIFT algorithm to select feature points and removes the mismatch point by improving RANSAC algorithm. Then, according to the APAP algorithm, the image is meshed, the homography matrix of each mesh is obtained, and the homography matrix is linearized. Finally, the image matching is performed according to the linearized homography matrix, and the homography matrix is Linearization not only weakens the ghosting phenomenon caused by image matching, but also reduces the perspective distortion of non-overlapping regions. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in matching efficiency and matching effect.
