Improved fast Image registration algorithm based on ORB and RANSAC fusion
In the binary description algorithm (Oriented Fast and Rotated Brief
ORB)
scale and rotation cause a great error in the registration
and the registration rate is low. Meanwhile
the RANdom Sample Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm has an instability issue. Therefore
in this study
a fast feature matching algorithm was presented based on ORB with RANSAC. First
the feature point extraction method was optimized to eliminate the influence of feature edges. After constructing a simplified pyramid scale-space model
the scale-space structure of the layered image was improved by reducing the number of generated image layers. Subsequently
the gradient direction was used to improve the main direction extraction mode of the traditional ORB algorithm
and the accuracy of the main direction of the feature angular point was improved. Finally
the RANSAC algorithm was improved by applying block random sampling
which improved the stability and accuracy of image registration. Experimental results reveal that the improved ORB and RANSAC fusion algorithm performance greatly improved in terms of scale and rotation registration
and higher registration precision is exhibited in comparison with traditional ORB. The scale registration accuracy is improved by 55.41%
and the rotational registration accuracy is improved by 26.66%. These results indicate that the proposed algorithm basically meets the accuracy and real-time requirements for fast and accurate registration of complex images.
