Optical Remote Sensing Image

High-resolution optical remote sensing image registration is still a challenging task due to non-linearity in the intensity differences and geometric distortion. In this paper, an efficient method utilizing a hyper-graph matching algorithm is proposed, which can simultaneously use the high-order structure information and radiometric information, to obtain thousands of feature point pairs for accurate image registration. The method mainly consists of the following steps: firstly, initial matching by Uniform Robust Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (UR-SIFT) is carried out in the highest pyramid image level to derive the approximate geometric relationship between the images; secondly, two-stage point matching is performed to find the matches, that is, a rotation and scale invariant area-based matching method is used to derive matching candidates for each feature point and an efficient hyper-graph matching algorithm is applied to find the best match for each feature point; thirdly, a local quadratic polynomial constraint framework is used to eliminate match outliers; finally, the above process is iterated until finishing the matching in the original image. Then, the obtained correspondences are used to perform the image registration. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested with six pairs of high-resolution optical images, covering different landscape types—such as mountain area, urban, suburb, and flat land—and registration accuracy of sub-pixel level is obtained. The experiments show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional matching algorithms such as SURF, AKAZE, ORB, BRISK, and FAST in terms of total number of correct matches and matching precision.

Abstract Traditionally, three-dimensional model is used to classify and recognize multi-target optical remote sensing image information, which can only identify a specific class of targets, and has certain limitations. A mathematical model of multi-target optical remote sensing image information classification and recognition is designed, and a local adaptive threshold segmentation algorithm is used to segment multi-target optical remote sensing image to reduce the gray level between images and improve the accuracy of feature extraction. Remote sensing image information is multi-feature, and multi-target optical remote sensing image information is identified by chaotic time series analysis method. The experimental results show that the proposed model can effectively classify and recognize multi-target optical remote sensing image information. The average recognition rate is more than 95%, the maximum robustness is 0.45, the recognition speed is 98%, and the maximum time-consuming average is only 14.30 s. It has high recognition rate, robustness, and recognition efficiency.

Accurate registration for multisource high-resolution remote sensing images is an essential step for various remote sensing applications. Due to the complexity of the feature and texture information of high-resolution remote sensing images, especially for images covering earthquake disasters, feature-based image registration methods need a more helpful feature descriptor to improve the accuracy. However, traditional image registration methods that only use local features at low levels have difficulty representing the features of the matching points. To improve the accuracy of matching features for multisource high-resolution remote sensing images, an image registration method based on a deep residual network (ResNet) and scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) was proposed. It used the fusion of SIFT features and ResNet features on the basis of the traditional algorithm to achieve image registration. The proposed method consists of two parts: model construction and training and image registration using a combination of SIFT and ResNet34 features. First, a registration sample set constructed from high-resolution satellite remote sensing images was used to fine-tune the network to obtain the ResNet model. Then, for the image to be registered, the Shi_Tomas algorithm and the combination of SIFT and ResNet features were used for feature extraction to complete the image registration. Considering the difference in image sizes and scenes, five pairs of images were used to conduct experiments to verify the effectiveness of the method in different practical applications. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can achieve higher accuracies and more tie points than traditional feature-based methods.
