Popis: Feature matching is a fundamental task in the field of image processing, aimed at ensuring correct correspondence between two sets of features. Putative matches constructed based on the similarity of descriptors always contain a large number of false matches. To eliminate these false matches, we propose a remote sensing image feature matching method called LMC (local motion consistency), where local motion consistency refers to the property that adjacent correct matches have the same motion. The core idea of LMC is to find neighborhoods with correct motion trends and retain matches with the same motion. To achieve this, we design a local geometric constraint using a homography matrix to represent local motion consistency. This constraint has projective invariance and is applicable to various types of transformations. To avoid outliers affecting the search for neighborhoods with correct motion, we introduce a resampling method to construct neighborhoods. Moreover, we design a jump-out mechanism to exit the loop without searching all possible cases, thereby reducing runtime. LMC can process over 1000 putative matches within 100 ms. Experimental evaluations on diverse image datasets, including SUIRD, RS, and DTU, demonstrate that LMC achieves a higher F-score and superior overall matching performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.
