A Learning Method for Feature Correspondence with Outliers

Feature correspondence is an important topic in many computer vision or robot vision tasks. Different from traditional optimization based matching method, in the last two years, researchers are finally able to solve the matching process in a learning manner. As a representative method, SuperGlue achieves superior performance in many real-world tasks, but it still has problems in dealing with outlier features. Targeting at the outlier problem, this paper improves SuperGlue by introducing a deep learning based feature correspondence method, which consists of the pruned attentional graph neural network and the improved matching layer for the outlier problem. Experiments on real world images validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
