Establishing　reliable　correspondences　via　a　deep　learning　network　is　an　important　task　in　remote　sensing,　photogrammetry,　and　other　computer　vision　fields.　It　usually　requires　mining　the　relationship　among　correspondences　to　aggregate　both　local　and　global　contexts.　However,　current　methods　are　insufficient　to　effectively　acquire　context　information　with　high　reliability.　In　this　article,　we　propose　a　graph　context　attention-based　network　(GCA-Net)　to　capture　and　leverage　abundant　contextual　information　for　feature　matching.　Specifically,　we　design　a　graph　context　attention　block,　which　generates　multipath　graph　contexts　and　softly　fuses　them　to　combine　respective　advantages.　In　addition,　for　building　the　graph　context　containing　stronger　representation　ability　and　outlier　resistance　ability,　we　further　design　a　local-global　channel　mining　block　to　gather　context　information　by　focusing　on　the　significant　part　as　well　as　to　mine　dependencies　among　channels　of　correspondences　in　both　local　and　global　aspects.　The　proposed　GCA-Net　is　able　to　effectively　infer　the　probability　of　correspondences　being　inliers　or　outliers　and　estimate　the　essential　matrix　meanwhile.　Extensive　experimental　results　for　outlier　removal　and　relative　pose　estimation　demonstrate　that　GCA-Net　outperforms　the　state-of-the-art　methods　on　both　outdoor　and　indoor　datasets　(i.e.,　YFCC100M　and　SUN3D).　In　addition,　experiments　extended　to　remote　sensing　and　point　cloud　scenes　also　demonstrate　the　powerful　generalization　capability　of　our　network.　©　1980-2012　IEEE.
