A method for image matching includes acquiring a template image and a target image; acquiring a group of template features according to the template image; extracting a group of target features according to the target image; and according to template features and target features, calculating an degree of image similarity between the template image and each frame of target images, and using a target image with the maximum degree of image similarity as a matched image to the template image. In the image-matching method, image matching is performed by calculating an degree of image similarity between a template image and each target image according to a degree of image similarity between template features and target features, so that non-redundancy of features in an image matching process and correct image matching can be guaranteed, and the image matching accuracy can be improved.
