Abstract: In order to solve the problem of low degree of image connection points and too few aero triangulation points with large depth discontinuity or difference when using the least square image matching method based on object patch to match oblique images, an algorithm of oblique image matching based on adaptive initial object patch is proposed. The algorithm uses the initial values of interior and exterior orientation elements of the oblique image and the object points generated in the matching process, and adaptively calculates the elevation of the object patch and the initial value of the normal vector direction angle by the method of multi-patch forward intersection and object variance partition. Then it solves the problem that the low accuracy initial value of the oblique image with the least squares image matching method of the object patch is not easily matched to corresponding points when matching the oblique image. Finally, two groups of oblique images are matched by the proposed method and the least square image matching method, in which the initial state of the object patch is horizontal object patch, respectively, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: oblique image matching, least-square, homograph matrix, adaptive initial object patch
