This paper proposes an algorithm for automatic registration of remote sensing images based on grid index, aiming at tackling the problems of a small number of registration point pairs and a large number of mismatches captured by the SIFT algorithm in the process of remote sensing image registration. First, SIFT algorithm is used to extract feature points and feature vectors, and matching is made by Euclidean distance; secondly, a grid index is established to eliminate part of the mismatched point pairs, thereby improving the accuracy of the random sampling consensus algorithm; finally, geometric polynomials are used to achieve accurate registration of remote sensing images. The experimental results show that the algorithm has higher accuracy of matching point pairs than the traditional block algorithm in remote sensing images, and takes into account the differences in registration scenes of different remote sensing images.
