Abstract

Matching accuracy plays a vital role in image matching and image recognition. In order to improve the accuracy and robust of image matching, a bidirectional matching algorithm is proposed to delete false matching relationships, so the matching accuracy can be improved. Based on the unique constraint of unilateral matching, the positive matching results from template image to the image to be matched can be obtained. Then the negative matching results from the original image to be matched to the original template image can also be obtained. Now the final bidirectional matching results can be achieved by the intersection of the positive and negative results. Precision ratio is taken as the evaluation indicator. Through various image transformation scenes, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a higher precision ratio on the contrast of unilateral matching algorithm. So the proposed bidirectional matching algorithm can improve the precision ratio and robust of unilateral matching algorithm and improve the matching accuracy of image matching.
