Feature matching is the core stage for object recognition, tracking and several applications of computer vision. Low resolution images have various limitations with respect to spatial, spectral, pixel and temporal information which reduces the performance of image processing approaches. We have combined SURF features with FAST and BRISK features individually in order to provide an optimal solution for feature matching. Furthermore, feature matching has exploited through combined features and compared the performance with state-of-the-art methods. Lastly, RANSAC and MSAC were utilized to eliminate the wrong matches to get optimal feature matches. The experimental results show that the combination of FAST–SURF and BRISK–SURF perform feature matching optimally according to the number of feature matches and estimated time.
