EMC+GD_C: circle-based enhanced motion consistency and guided diffusion feature matching for 3D reconstruction

Robust matching, especially the number, precision and distribution of feature point matching, directly affects the effect of 3D reconstruction. However, the existing methods rarely consider these three aspects comprehensively to improve the quality of feature matching, which in turn affects the effect of 3D reconstruction. Therefore, to effectively improve the quality of 3D reconstruction, we propose a circle-based enhanced motion consistency and guided diffusion feature matching algorithm for 3D reconstruction named EMC+GD_C. Firstly, a circle-based neighborhood division method is proposed, which increases the number of initial matching points. Secondly, to improve the precision of feature point matching, on the one hand, we put forward the idea of enhancing motion consistency, reducing the mismatch of high similarity feature points by enhancing the judgment conditions of true and false matching points; on the other hand, we combine the RANSAC optimization method to filter out the outliers and further improve the precision of feature point matching. Finally, a novel guided diffusion idea combining guided matching and motion consistency is proposed, which expands the distribution range of feature point matching and improves the stability of 3D models. Experiments on 8 sets of 908 pairs of images in the public 3D reconstruction datasets demonstrate that our method can achieve better matching performance and show stronger stability in 3D reconstruction. Specifically, EMC+GD_C achieves an average improvement of 24.07
