Abstract
Image matching is crucial in numerous computer vision tasks such as 3D reconstruction and simultaneous visual localization and mapping. The accuracy of the matching significantly impacted subsequent studies. Because of their local similarity, when image pairs contain comparable patterns but feature pairs are positioned differently, incorrect recognition can occur as global motion consistency is disregarded. This study proposes an image-matching filtering algorithm based on global motion consistency. It can be used as a subsequent matching filter for the initial matching results generated by other matching algorithms based on the principle of motion smoothness. A particular matching algorithm can first be used to perform the initial matching; then, the rotation and movement information of the global feature vectors are combined to effectively identify outlier matches. The principle is that if the matching result is accurate, the feature vectors formed by any matched point should have similar rotation angles and moving distances. Thus, global motion direction and global motion distance consistencies were used to reject outliers caused by similar patterns in different locations. Four datasets were used to test the effectiveness of the proposed method. Three datasets with similar patterns in different locations were used to test the results for similar images that could easily be incorrectly matched by other algorithms, and one commonly used dataset was used to test the results for the general image-matching problem. The experimental results suggest that the proposed method is more accurate than other state-of-the-art algorithms in identifying mismatches in the initial matching set. The proposed outlier rejection matching method can significantly improve the matching accuracy for similar images with locally similar feature pairs in different locations and can provide more accurate matching results for subsequent computer vision tasks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
