Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the past few decades, researchers at home and abroad have mainly focused on purchasing servers, workstations and other equipment with high-speed single-core CPUs as the computing core, and the application of multi-core CPU computing platforms, using single instruction multiple data flow technology. However, due to the constraints of the manufacturing process technology and the limitations of the design goals of the CPU architecture itself, the performance improvement soon encountered technical barriers. At the same time, the SIFT feature matching algorithm has high complexity. As a result, the image matching calculation time is long and the matching speed is slow. Therefore, on the one hand, traditional computing resources and computing acceleration methods have been difficult to meet the real-time processing requirements of remote sensing image SIFT feature matching. In applications with high real-time requirements, applications are subject to On the other hand, due to the incompatibility between hardware platforms, the problem of poor cross-platform portability of software is prominent
