Abstract

Aerial images are large-scale and susceptible to light. Traditional image feature point matching algorithms cannot achieve satisfactory matching accuracy for aerial images. This paper proposes a recursive diffusion algorithm, which is scale-invariant and can be used to extract symmetrical areas of different images. This narrows the matching range of feature points by extracting high-density areas of the image and improving the matching accuracy through correlation analysis of high-density areas. Through experimental comparison, it can be found that the recursive diffusion algorithm has more advantages compared to the correlation coefficient method and the mean shift algorithm when matching accuracy of aerial images, especially when the light of aerial images changes greatly.
