چکیده

In this paper, a new feature-based approach to automated image-to-image registration is presented. The characteristic of this approach is that it combines an invariantmoment shape descriptor with improved chain-code matching to establish correspondences between the potentially matched regions detected from the two images. It is robust in that it overcomes the difficulties of control-point correspondence by matching the images both in the feature space, using the principle of minimum distance classifier (based on the combined criteria), and sequentially in the image space, using the rule of root meansquare error (RMSE). In image segmentation, the performance of the Laplacian of Gaussian operators is improved by introducing a new algorithm called thin and robust zero crossing. After the detected edge points are refined and sorted, regions are defined. Region correspondences are then performed by an image-matching algorithm developed in this research. The centers of gravity are then extracted from the matched regions and are used as control points. Transformation parameters are estimated based on the final matched control-point pairs. The algorithm proposed is automated, robust, and of significant value in an operational context. Experimental results using multitemporal Landsat TM imagery are presented.

Pseudo Zernike Moment-based Multi-frame Super Resolution

The goal of multi-frame Super Resolution (SR) is to fuse multiple Low Resolution (LR) images to produce one High Resolution (HR) image. The major challenge of classic SR approaches is accurate motion estimation between the frames. To handle this challenge, fuzzy motion estimation method has been proposed that replaces value of each pixel using the weighted averaging all its neighboring pixels i...

Global Image Registration Based on Invariant Representation of Polar Complex Exponential Transform

Robust point matching is a critical and challenging process in feature-based image registration. In this paper, an invariant feature point matching algorithm is presented by introducing the Polar Complex Exponential Transform (PCET), a new kind of orthogonal moment reported recently. Similar to orthogonal complex moments, PCETs is defined on a circular domain. The magnitudes of PCETs are invari...

Contourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration

Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...
