    Abstract:
      Objective   In this paper, to address sparse feature points and unique epipolar constraints, an adaptive depth constraint-based underwater feature matching (ADC-UFM) scheme is proposed.
      Methods  By combining a features from accelerated segment test (FAST) operator with scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) descriptors, the matching accuracy can be dramatically improved. By introducing an underwater refractive factor, the matching constraint model (MCM) can be effectively established, thereby contributing to eliminating mismatched points. The adaptive threshold choosing (ATC) module is finely devised to preserve image feature information in changeable underwater environments to an extreme extent.
      Results  Comprehensive experiments show that the proposed ADC-UFM scheme can outperform typical matching schemes including SIFT, speeded-up robust features (SURF) and SIFT feature matching based on underwater curve constraint (UCC-SIFT), which not only achieves 85.2% matching accuracy but also meets the real-time requirements.
      Conclusion  The results of this study can provide a reliable guarantee for subsequent underwater 3D reconstruction based on the binocular vision system.
