The Relationship

The low information consistency and serious interference caused by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging characteristics and target attributes affect the accuracy of SAR image information description, which reduces the performance of SAR image registration. In this work, the polar speeded up robust features (PSURF) descriptor is proposed for SAR image registration. In PSURF, according to the advantages of pole space in the relationship between pixels, a quantitative model of information change based on pole space is established to improve the integrity, consistency, and separability of image features. Firstly, the support region is transformed into polar coordinates. Then, the image gray level changes in the radial and angular directions are quantified with different scales. Finally, the PSURF descriptor based on the scale of keypoints is constructed covering the omnidirectional space.

In order to satisfy the real-time requirement of spacecraft autonomous navigation using natural landmarks, a novel algorithm called CSA-SURF (chessboard segmentation algorithm and speeded up robust features) is proposed to improve the speed without loss of repeatability performance of image registration progress. It is a combination of chessboard segmentation algorithm and SURF. Here, SURF is used to extract the features from satellite images because of its scale- and rotation-invariant properties and low computational cost. CSA is based on image segmentation technology, aiming to find representative blocks, which will be allocated to different tasks to speed up the image registration progress. To illustrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm, PCA-SURF, which is the combination of principle component analysis and SURF, is also analyzed in this paper for comparison. Furthermore, random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is applied to eliminate the false matches for further accuracy improvement. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy obtains good results, especially in scaling and rotation variation. Besides, CSA-SURF decreased 50% of the time in extraction and 90% of the time in matching without losing the repeatability performance by comparing with SURF algorithm. The proposed method has been demonstrated as an alternative way for image registration of spacecraft autonomous navigation using natural landmarks.

Image Registration Algorithm

In order to reduce the noise sensitivity of the SAR (synthetic aperture radar) image registration, a image registration algorithm which basing on the ratio mutual information (RatioMI) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the ratio images of the reference image and the floating image are gotten by using the ratio operator, and then take the two ratio images as a similar characteristic quantity to construct the similarity measure function which was used in the optimization process of the image registration experiment. The experimental results of the SAR image registration show that the new registration algorithm which based on the RatioMI is effectively in avoiding the local maxima point problems causing by speckle noise.

In this paper, the solvability of a class of convolution equations is discussed by using two-dimensional (2D) fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) in polar coordinates. Firstly, we generalize the 2D FRFT to the polar coordinates setting. The relationship between 2D FRFT and fractional Hankel transform (FRHT) is derived. Secondly, the spatial shift and multiplication theorems for 2D FRFT are proposed by using this relationship. Thirdly, in order to analyze the solvability of the convolution equations, a novel convolution operator for 2D FRFT is proposed, and the corresponding convolution theorem is investigated. Finally, based on the proposed theorems, the solvability of the convolution equations is studied.
