AN OPTICAL FLOW METHOD APPLIED TO CO-REGISTRATION OF REMOTE SENSING IMAGES: EXAMPLE FOR SAR/SAR, SAR/LIDAR, SAR/OPTICAL IMAGES OF BIOSAR 2010 CAMPAIGN

摘要

This article proposes an optical flow type method for coregistration of forest remote sensing images. The principle of the algorithm called GeFolki is first explained. Results are shown on the images of the BioSAR 3 campaign, for the production of SAR interferograms, the coregistration a SAR and LIDAR image, and the coregistration an optical image and SAR image.The advantages of such an algorithm over conventional algorithms are explained. Finally, we propose various applications within the operating data for future BIOMASS mission: massive interferometry, ground truth production, upscaling by fusion of LIDAR and SAR data, and image mining.
