ABSTRACT

Euclidean distances as well as the polarities of the traces in order to judge the similarity of two descriptors, we can determine whether the two descriptors match or not. Firstly, if they do not have the same type of contrast, this feature point is treated as a false one and it will not be taken into consideration. Conversely, if they have the same type of contrast, we go on calculating the Euclidean distance of them respectively according to:

For each feature point, compute the ratio of the shortest Euclidean distance and the second shortest one. Next, the ratio is compared with the default threshold value (usually 0.7 in experiment). If the ratio is in the range of 0.7, we think that this point matches with the nearest point. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a wrong one. SURF algorithm can exclude some false feature points to some extent. However we still gain some false matched pairs. Therefore, other methods should be taken into consideration to improve the matching accuracy.
