Multimodality image registration and fusion using neural network

Multi-modality image registration and fusion are essential steps in building 3D models from remote sensing data. In this paper, we present a neural network technique for the registration and fusion of multi-modality remote sensing data for the reconstruction of 3D models of terrain regions. A feedforward neural network is used to fuse the intensity data sets with the spatial data set after learning its geometry. Results on real data are presented. Human performance evaluation is assessed on several perceptual tests in order to evaluate the fusion results.
