Abstract

Describes a system for automatic and semi-automatic registration/mosaic of remote sensing images. Information provided by the user can be used to speed up processing or to avoid mismatched control points. A statistical procedure is used to characterize good and bad registrations. Based on this "good fit-bad fit" statistical test the user can stop, modify the parameters, or continue the processing. Several tests have been performed by registering optical, radar, multi-sensor, high-resolution images and video sequences. We have included very difficult image registration examples in order to show the strengths and limits of our system. An online registration system demo containing several examples can be executed using a Web browser.
