A NEW METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC FINE REGISTRATION OF MULTI-SPECTRAL REMOTE SENSING IMAGES

摘要

Fine registration is a fundamental step for further application of remote sensing images. Focused on deficiencies in traditional manual registration, this paper presents a new method for automatic fine registration of multi-spectral images. To make the most of image information, the algorithm detects and matches feature points in the selected bands. Then pick up the common control points which contain more reliability relative to others after eliminating wrong matching points. The last registration model can be built based on common control points and the points selected by common ones. Experimental results with Landsat TM5 images demonstrate that the method is more accurate and suitable for automatic batch processing.
