Abstract

For improving the accuracy of the SIFT matching algorithm with low time cost, this paper proposes a novel matching algorithm which is based on local neighborhood constraints, that is, SIFT matching feature is optimized by the local neighborhood constraint method in the SIFT algorithm. We optimize the matching results by using the information of SIFT feature descriptor and the relative position information of SIFT feature, then the final matching result obtained by RANSANC algorithm to filter the false matched pairs. The experimental results show that our method can improve the accuracy of the matching feature pairs without affecting the time cost.
