| Summary: | The paper considers the problem of satellite multimodal image registration, in particular, optical and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar). Such algorithms are used in object detection, change detection, navigation. The paper considers algorithms for optical-to-SAR image registration in conditions of rough image pre-alignment. It is known that optical and SAR images have an inaccuracy in registration with georeference (up to 100 pixels with a spatial resolution of 10 m/pixel).
This paper presents a neural network algorithm for optical-to-SAR image registration based on descriptors calculated for a uniform grid of points. First, algorithm find uniform grid of points for both images. Next, the neural network calculates descriptors for each point and finds descriptor distances between all possible pairs of points between optical and SAR images. Using obtained descriptor distances, a matching is made between the points on the optical and SAR images. The found matches between points are used to calculate the geometric transformation between images using the RANSAC algorithm with a limited (to combinations of translation, rotation and uniform scaling) affine transformation model.
The accuracy of the proposed algorithm for optical-to-SAR image registration was investigated with different distortions in rotation and scale. |
