This method uses the perception dictionaries,and combines the Basis-Pursuit algorithm and the Total-Variation regularization scheme to extract the cartoon part containing basic geometrical information from the original image, and is stable and unsusceptible to noise interference. Then a smaller number of the distinctive key points will be obtained by using the SIFT algorithm based on the cartoon part of the original image. Matching the key points by the constrained Euclidean distance,we will obtain a more correct and robust matching result. The experimental results show that the geometrical transform parameters inferred by the matched key points based on MCA+SIFT registration method are more exact than the ones based on the direct SIFT algorithm.展开更多

When a pair of airborne SAR images differs with look angles obviously, shadow sizes and shapes of same objects will differ obviously. In main and slave SAR images, key-points around shadows often match as tie-points, although they are not homologous points. The phenomenon worsens the performance of SIFT on SAR images. On the basis of SIFT, a modified matching method is proposed to decrease the number of incorrect tie-points. High-resolution airborne SAR images are used in Experiments. Experiment results show that the proposed method is very effective to extract correct tie-points for SAR images.展开更多
