Abstract

In this paper, we propose an automatic image-to-image registration between high resolution multi-sensor images. To do this, TerraSAR-X image was shifted according to the initial translation differences of the x and y directions between images estimated using Mutual Information method. After that, the Canny edge operator was applied to both images to extract linear features. These features were used to design a cost function that finds matching points based on the similarities of their locations and gradient orientations. For extracting large number of evenly distributed matching points, only one point within each regular grid constructed throughout the image was extracted to the final matching point pair. The model, which combined the piecewise linear function with the global affine transformation, was applied to increase the accuracy of the geometric correction, and the proposed method showed RMSE lower than 5m in all study sites.

본 논문은 이종센서자료인 고해상도 KOMPSAT-2 영상과 TerraSAR-X 영상 간 자동기하보정을 수행하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해, 두 영상간의 x, y 방향의 초기 변위량을 MI(Mutual Information) 기법을 통해 계산한 후, 계산된 위치만큼 TerraSAR-X 영상을 이동시켜서 두 영상 간 초기 위치 차이를 최소화하였다. 초기 위치 차이가 최소화된 두 영상에서 선형정보를 추출하여 이들 간의 유사도를 판단, 매칭쌍을 추출하고자 하였다. 특히, 영상 전반에 걸쳐 고르게 분포된 매칭쌍을 추출하기 위하여, 영상 전역에 걸쳐서 동일한 크기의 격자망을 구성하여, 각 격자망에서 하나의 매칭쌍만을 추출하도록 하였다. 이렇게 추출된 매칭쌍을 이용하여 선형(rigid)과 비선형(nonrigid)의 변환식이 결합된 모델을 통해 기하보정 정확도를 높이고자 하였고, 실험 결과 모든 대상지역에서 5m 이내의 RMSE 값을 도출하였다.
