An image registration method based on multi-resolution shape analysis is proposed in this paper, to deal with the problem that the shape of similar objects is always invariant. The contours of shapes are first detected as visual features using an extended contour search algorithm in order to reduce effects of noise, and the multi-resolution shape descriptor is constructed through Fourier curvature representation of the contour’s chain code. Then a minimum distance function is used to judge the similarity between two contours. To avoid the effect of different resolution and intensity distribution, suitable resolution of each image is selected by maximizing the consistency of its pyramid shapes. Finally, the transformation parameters are estimated based on the matched control-point pairs which are the centers of gravity of the closed contours. Multi-sensor Landsat TM imagery and infrared imagery have been used as experimental data for comparison with the classical contour-based registration. Our results have been shown to be superior to the classical ones.展开更多

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

文摘异源图像配准中,由于图像的成像机理差异,图像像素强度关联和旋转畸变是不可避免的两大问题,针对图像像素强度关联问题,提出了基于辐射不变特征变换(radiation-variation insensitive feature transform,RIFT)的图像配准算法,对图像间像素关联差异小的图像对配准有良好的精度,但对旋转畸变图像会产生较多错误匹配。对于旋转畸变问题,传统的ORB(oriented fast and rotated brief)算法,对旋转图像的配准有一定的稳定性,但对于强度变化不明显的图像对,特征点检测质量较低,配准精度不理想。因此本文将相位一致性(phase consistency,PC)融合进ORB算法,利用相位信息代替传统的图像强度信息,再构造旋转不变性BRIEF特征描述子,对图像像素强度变化和旋转畸变均具有鲁棒性。用图像像素强度关联不明显的红外图像和可见光图像进行配准实验,本文算法针对不同旋转幅度的图像的配准精度较高,RMSE稳定在1.7~2.1,优于RIFT算法,在特征点检测数量、配准精度和效率等性能上均有良好性能。
