Abstract: A method of matching features in first and second images captured from respective camera viewpoints related by an epipolar geometry. The coordinate system of the second image is transformed so as to map an epipolar line in the second image corresponding to a first feature in the first image, to be parallel to one of the coordinate axes of the coordinate system. The epipolar line defines a geometrically-constrained region in the second image in the transformed coordinate system corresponding to the first feature in the first image; measures of similarity between the first feature in the first image and features in the second image are determined; and a best match feature is identified from the measures of similarity between the first feature in the first image and the respective features in the second image.

Abstract: A method of feature matching in images captured from camera viewpoints uses the epipolar geometry of the viewpoints to define a geometrically-constrained region in a second image corresponding to a first feature in a first image; comparing the local descriptor of the first feature with local descriptors of features in the second image to determine respective measures of similarity; identifying, from the features located in the geometrically-constrained region, (i) a geometric best match and (ii) a geometric next-best match to the first feature; identifying a global best match to the first feature; performing a first comparison of the measures of similarity for the geometric best match and the global best match; performing a second comparison of the measures of similarity for the geometric best match and the geometric next-best match; and, if thresholds are met, selecting the geometric best match feature in the second image.

Abstract: The aircraft control systems and methods disclosed herein are configured to detect a residual error associated with a flight control computer of an aircraft and mitigate the effect(s) of such residual error in order to maintain safe operation of the aircraft. In some embodiments, the systems and methods are configured to detect an out-of-flight-envelope situation of the aircraft and determine whether or not the flight control computer is attempting to recover the aircraft from the out-of-flight-envelope situation. If the flight control computer is perceived as attempting to recover the aircraft from the out-of-flight-envelope situation, the flight control computer is permitted to continue controlling the aircraft. Otherwise, the excursion outside of the normal flight envelope is perceives as potentially having been caused by a residual error and the flight control computer is prevented from continuing to control the aircraft.
