Automatic image registration (IR) is very challenging and very important in the field of hyperspectral remote sensing data. Efficient autonomous IR method is needed with high precision, fast, and robust. A key operation of IR is to align the multiple images in single co-ordinate system for extracting and identifying variation between images considered. In this paper, presented a feature descriptor by combining features from both Feature from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST) and Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Key point (BRISK). The proposed hybrid invariant local features (HILF) descriptor extract useful and similar feature sets from reference and source images. The feature matching method allows finding precise relationship or matching among two feature sets. An experimental analysis described the outcome BRISK, FASK and proposed HILF in terms of inliers ratio and repeatability evaluation metrics.

In this paper a mixed vision-range based approach, based on Kinect technology, for safe landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is proposed. The guidance system allows a remote user to define target areas from an high resolution aerial or satellite image to determine the waypoints of the navigation trajectory or the landing area. The system is based on our previous work on UAV navigation and landing: a feature-based image matching algorithms finds the natural landmarks and gives feedbacks to the control system for autonomous navigation and landing. An algorithm for safe landing areas detection is proposed, based on the use of 4D RGBD (Red, Green, Blue, Distance) image analysis. The helicopter is required to navigate from an initial to a final position in a partially known environment, to locate a landing area and to land on it. Results show the appropriateness of the vision-based approach that does not require any artificial landmark (e.g., helipad) and is quite robust to occlusions, light variations and high vibrations.
