The present study concerns about feature matching in image mosaic. In order to solve the problems of low accuracy and poor applicability in the traditional speeded up robust features algorithm, this paper presents an improved algorithm. Clustering algorithm based on density instead of random sample consensus method is used to eliminate mismatching pairs. The initial matching pairs are mapped onto a plane coordinate system, which can be regarded as points, by calculating the density of each point to extract the final matching pairs. The results show that this algorithm overcomes the limitations of the traditional speeded up robust features mosaic method, improving the matching accuracy and speed, and the mosaic effect. It has certain theoretical and practical value.
