Ultra-wide baseline aerial imagery matching in urban environments

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperResearchpeer-review

Correspondence matching is a core problem in computer vision. Under narrow baseline viewing conditions, this problem has been successfully addressed using SIFT-like approaches. However, under wide baseline viewing conditions these methods often fail. In this paper we propose a method for correspondence estimation that addresses this challenge for aerial scenes in urban environments. Our method creates synthetic views and leverages self-similarity cues to recover correspondences using a RANSAC-based approach aided by self-similarity graph-based sampling. We evaluate our method on 30 challenging image pairs and demonstrate improved performance to alternative methods in the literature.
