Abstract: In order to solve the problem of low efficiency and reliability of UAV oblique image matching based on SIFT feature points due to a large amount of redundant data, large image geometric deformation and repeated texture, a novel image matching method based on POS information and epipolar constraint is proposed. In this method, firstly, the image POS data obtained by the airborne GNSS/IMU device is used to calculate the object overlap area between the images, and then the object overlap area is projected to the image side, and then a highly reliable image pairs are selected according to the image overlap ratio of the two images. Secondly, after using the SIFT-GPU algorithm to extract feature points from the image, the antipolar relationship between the image pairs is estimated based on the POS data. Thirdly, the Euclidean distance between descriptors is a similarity measure, which can achieve efficient and robust matching of feature points. Finally, RANSAC algorithm is used to eliminate mismatches. The reliability of the proposed method is verified by the matching experiment of oblique image.
