Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for multi-modal remote sensing image hybrid matching with multi-dimensional oriented self-similarity features. The method comprises: hybrid feature coarse matching is executed by rapidly extracting the image's self-similarity features using the offset mean filtering method and describing the feature points using the directional information of the self-similarity features. Through this coarse matching, an affine transformation model between multi-modal images is estimated, and an initial affine transformation is applied to the matched image. Next, the multi-dimensional oriented self-similarity feature fine matching is performed by constructing multi-dimensional oriented self-similarity template features using the multi-channel self-similarity map obtained from the hybrid feature coarse matching stage. Through a subsampling strategy applied to the constructed template features and convolution enhancement using a three-dimensional Gaussian kernel, the directional self-similarity features are strengthened. Finally, a three-dimensional phase consistency measure is used to identify highly accurate matching homologous points.
