Automatic Image Registration Technique of Remote Sensing Images
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. Automatic registration of remote-sensing images is a difficult task as it must deal with the intensity changes and variation of scale, rotation and illumination of the images. This paper proposes image registration technique of multi-view, multi- temporal and multi-spectral remote sensing images. Firstly, a preprocessing step is performed by applying median filtering to enhance the images. Secondly, the Steerable Pyramid Transform is adopted to produce multi-resolution levels of reference and sensed images; then, the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is utilized for extracting feature points that can deal with the large variations of scale, rotation and illumination between images .Thirdly, matching the features points by using the Euclidian distance ratio; then removing the false matching pairs using the RANdom SAmple Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm. Finally, the mapping function is obtained by the affine transformation. Quantitative comparisons of our technique with the related techniques show a significant improvement in the presence of large scale, rotation changes, and the intensity changes. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated by the experimental results.
