Robust image matching is crucial for many applications of remote sensing and photogrammetry, such as image fusion, image registration, and change detection. In this paper, we propose a robust feature matching method based on support-line voting and affine-invariant ratios. We first use popular feature matching algorithms, such as SIFT, to obtain a set of initial matches. A support-line descriptor based on multiple adaptive binning gradient histograms is subsequently applied in the support-line voting stage to filter outliers. In addition, we use affine-invariant ratios computed by a two-line structure to refine the matching results and estimate the local affine transformation. The local affine model is more robust to distortions caused by elevation differences than the global affine transformation, especially for high-resolution remote sensing images and UAV images. Thus, the proposed method is suitable for both rigid and non-rigid image matching problems. Finally, we extract as many high-precision correspondences as possible based on the local affine extension and build a grid-wise affine model for remote sensing image registration. We compare the proposed method with six state-of-the-art algorithms on several data sets and show that our method significantly outperforms the other methods. The proposed method achieves 94.46% average precision on 15 challenging remote sensing image pairs, while the second-best method, RANSAC, only achieves 70.3%. In addition, the number of detected correct matches of the proposed method is approximately four times the number of initial SIFT matches.
