Abstract

A two step feature matching algorithm which is primarily aimed at problems related to the analysis of aerial images of man-made sites is presented. Only linear features and their geometric attributes are used in the algorithm. First, the rotation between the two images is calculated and then matching by relaxation is performed assuming that there is only translation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
