Feature correspondence selection, which aims to seek as many true matches (i.e., inliers) as possible from a given putative set while minimizing false matches (i.e., outliers), is crucial to many feature-matching based tasks in computer vision. It remains a challenging problem how to deal with putative sets with low inlier ratios. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel correspondence selection strategy, which is guided by Grid-based Motion Statistics (GMS). We first adopt the GMS to generate a small correspondence set with a high inlier ratio. Then, an accurate geometric model is built using the above correspondence set. Finally, the built geometric model is used to filter the given putative correspondence set to obtain true correspondences. The experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches for putative sets with various inlier ratios, especially for cases with low inlier ratios.
