The available stereo matching algorithms produce large number of false positive matches or only produce a few true-positives across oblique stereo images with large baseline. This undesired result happens due to the complex perspective deformation and radiometric distortion across the images. To address this problem, we propose a novel affine invariant feature matching algorithm with subpixel accuracy based on an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN). In our method, we adopt and modify a Hessian affine network, which we refer to as IHesAffNet, to obtain affine invariant Hessian regions using deep learning framework. To improve the correlation between corresponding features, we introduce an empirical weighted loss function (EWLF) based on the negative samples using K nearest neighbors, and then generate deep learning-based descriptors with high discrimination that is realized with our multiple hard network structure (MTHardNets). Following this step, the conjugate features are produced by using the Euclidean distance ratio as the matching metric, and the accuracy of matches are optimized through the deep learning transform based least square matching (DLT-LSM). Finally, experiments on Large baseline oblique stereo images acquired by ground close-range and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and comprehensive comparisons demonstrate that our matching algorithm outperforms the state-of-art methods in terms of accuracy, distribution and correct ratio. The main contributions of this article are: (i) our proposed MTHardNets can generate high quality descriptors; and (ii) the IHesAffNet can produce substantial affine invariant corresponding features with reliable transform parameters.

In the development of a three-dimensional measurement system, binocular stereo matching is the most important and difficult. In the basis of introducing selective principles of matching algorithm, a new stereo matching algorithm for binocular vision is put forward that is named noncoded difference measuring distance. The algorithm effectively grapples with the problem of searching for the coincidence relation of raster and can efficiently and accurately obtain three-dimensional world coordinates of the entities. Experiment results show that this 3D measuring machine can effectively measure the 3D solid profile of free surface. During the evaluation test for accuracy, scan a standard plane. Fit all 3D points in one plane, and then the flatness value of this plane is obtained. The flatness value of the standard plane has been ultimately measured as: ± 0.0462mm, this measuring accuracy can completely satisfy the requirements of rapid prototyping or CNC machining, it as well as achieves the stated accuracy (± 0.05mm).
