This paper focuses on automatic image registration between EO (Electro-Optical) and IR (InfraRed) satellite images with different spectral properties using block-based approach and simple preprocessing technique to enhance the performance of feature matching. If unpreprocessed EO and IR images from Kompsat-3A satellite were applied to local feature matching algorithms(Scale Invariant Feature Transform, Speed-Up Robust Feature, etc.), image registration algorithm generally failed because of few detected feature points or mismatched pairs despite of many detected feature points. In this paper, we proposed a new image registration method which improved the performance of feature matching with block-based registration process on 9-divided image and pre-processing technique based on adaptive histogram equalization. The proposed method showed better performance than without our proposed technique on visual inspection and I-RMSE. This study can be used for automatic image registration between various images acquired from different sensors.

Image co-registration is the process of overlaying two images of the same scene. One of which is a reference image, while the other (sensed image) is geometrically transformed to the one. Numerous methods were developed for the automated image co-registration and it is known as a time-consuming and/or computation-intensive procedure. In order to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the co-registration of satellite imagery, this paper proposes a pre-qualified area matching, which is composed of feature extraction with Laplacian filter and area matching algorithm using correlation coefficient. Moreover, to improve the accuracy of co-registration, the outliers in the initial matching point should be removed. For this, two outlier detection techniques of studentized residual and modified RANSAC algorithm are used in this study. Three pairs of Landsat images were used for performance test, and the results were compared and evaluated in terms of robustness and efficiency.

KOMPSAT-2 like other high-resolution satellites has the time and angle difference in the acquisition of the panchromatic (PAN) and multispectral (MS) images because the imaging systems have the offset of the charge coupled device combination in the focal plane. Due to the differences, high altitude and moving objects, such as clouds, have a different position between the PAN and MS images. Therefore, a mis-registration between the PAN and MS images occurs when a registration algorithm extracted matching points from these cloud objects. To overcome this problem, we proposed a new registration method. The main idea is to discard the matching points extracted from cloud boundaries by using an automatic thresholding technique and a classification technique on a distance disparity map of the matching points. The experimental result demonstrates the accuracy of the proposed method at ground region around cloud objects is higher than a general method which does not consider cloud objects. To evaluate the proposed method, we use KOMPSAT-2 cloudy images.

Image registration involves overlapping images of an identical region and assigning the data into one coordinate system. Image registration has proved important in remote sensing, enabling registered satellite imagery to be used in various applications such as image fusion, change detection and the generation of digital maps. The image descriptor, which extracts matching points from each image, is necessary for automatic registration of remotely sensed data. Using contrast enhancement algorithms such as histogram equalization and image stretching, the normalized data are applied to the image descriptor. Drawing on the different spectral characteristics of high resolution satellite imagery based on sensor type and acquisition date, the applied normalization method can be used to change the results of matching interest point descriptors. In this paper, the matching points by scale invariant feature transformation (SIFT) are extracted using various contrast enhancement algorithms and injection of Gaussian noise. The results of the extracted matching points are compared with the number of correct matching points and matching rates for each point.

This paper addresses the estimation of the shift vector from aerial image sequences. The conventional feature-based and area-based matching methods are simulated for determining the suitable image registration scheme. Computer simulations show that the feature-based matching schemes based on the co-occurrence matrix, autoregressive model, and edge information do not give a reliable matching for aerial image sequences which do not have a suitable statistical model or significant features. In area-based matching methods we try various similarity functions for a matching measure and discuss the factors determining the matching accuracy. To reduce the estimation error of the shift vector we propose the reference window selection scheme. We also discuss the performance of the proposed algorithm based on the simulation results.

방사선치료 계획시 다중영상의 장점들을 활용하여 종양부위 설정의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 방법들이 연구되고 있다 본 연구에서는 다중영상의 장점들을 적절히 활용하기 위해 선행되어야 하는 영상정합과 관련하여 정확도 및 실용성 측면에서 현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 chamfer matching 알고리즘과 mutual information maximization 알고리즘을 분석하여 정합 대상 영상들의 특성에 따라 정확도 측면에서 더 적합한 영상정합 방법을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 다중영상 획득이 가능하게 설계, 제작한 폐 팬텀을 대상으로 CT, MRI, SPECT 영상을 획득하였고, 분석대상으로 선정된 두 정합 알고리즘을 효과적으로 구현할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 서로 다른 발현기전의 영상간 정합을 수행하여, 정합 대상 영상의 해상도 및 영상 정보 손실에 따른 정합 결과의 정확도를 분석하였다. 다중영상간 정합 결과, 두 정합 알고리즘 모두 이동거리 평균 오차 2.3 mm, 회전각도 평균 오차 $1.5^{\circ}$ 내의 결과를 보여 다중영상 정합에 있어 모두 타당성 있는 방법임을 검증할 수 있었으나, chamfer matching 방법의 경우, 낮은 해상도의 영상과 손상된 영상에서의 정합 결과는 mutual information 방법의 경우와 비교하여 상대적으로 증가된 정합 오차를 보였다. 본 연구결과, mutual information 방법은 chamfer matching 방법에서 선행되어야 하는 contour 추출과정을 필요로 하지 않고, 영상 특성에 큰 영향 없이 정확한 정합결과를 도출하여, 다중 영상간 정합 알고리즘으로 좀 더 양호한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다.생존율은 각장 10 cm 시험구에서 98.10% 이었으며, 다른 시험구(90.95~94.76%)보다 높게 나타났다. 한편, 자연발생적으로 서식하는 원서식지와 이식지에 있어서 키조개의 성장률은 이식지가 원서식지보다 각장, 전중량, 육중량 및 패주중량이 각각 1.3배, 2.6배, 2.7배 및 4.5배씩 더 증가하였다.졌다.부의 H pylori 균체 밀도가 유의하게 감소하였다 (p<0.05).

Image co-registration is the process of overlaying two images of the same scene, one of which represents a reference image, while the other is geometrically transformed to the one. In order to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the co-registration approach, the author proposed a pre-qualified area matching algorithm which is composed of feature extraction with canny operator and area matching algorithm with cross correlation coefficient. For refining matching points, outlier detection using studentized residual was used and iteratively removes outliers at the level of three standard deviation. Throughout the pre-qualification and the refining processes, the computation time was significantly improved and the registration accuracy is enhanced. A prototype of the proposed algorithm was implemented and the performance test of 3 Landsat images of Korea showed: (1) average RMSE error of the approach was 0.436 Pixel (2) the average number of matching points was over 38,475 (3) the average processing time was 489 seconds per image with a regular workstation equipped with a 3 GHz Intel Pentium 4 CPU and 1 Gbytes Ram. The proposed approach achieved robustness, full automation, and time efficiency.

Several photogrammetric and geographic information system applications such as surface matching, object recognition, city modeling, environmental monitoring, and change detection deal with multiple versions of the same surface that have been derived from different sources and/or at different times. Surface registration is a necessary procedure prior to the manipulation of these 3D datasets. This need is also applicable in the field of medical imaging, where imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide temporal 3D imagery for monitoring disease progression. This paper will present a general automated surface registration procedure that can establish correspondences between conjugate surface elements. Experimental results using light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and MRI data will verify the feasibility, robustness, and accuracy of this approach.

This paper introduces an Interactive Feature Extraction (!FE) approach for the registration of satellite imagery by matching extracted point and line features. !FE method contains both point extraction by cross-correlation matching of singular points and line extraction by Hough transform. The purpose of this study is to minimize user's intervention in feature extraction and easily apply the extracted features for image registration. Experiments with these imagery dataset proved the feasibility and the efficiency of the suggested method.
