提出了一种基于影像边缘强度图描述的SAR影像与光学影像匹配方法。首先对影像进行粗纠正,消除影像之间的尺度和旋转变化;其次,改进相位一致性特征检测方法,提取对影像相干斑噪声稳健的特征点;然后基于高斯伽玛型双边窗口比值算子计算影像边缘强度图,在此基础上构造不变特征描述符;最后联合几何约束条件,实现SAR影像与光学影像匹配。试验结果证明,与现有方法相比,本文方法能够大幅提高SAR影像与光学影像匹配结果中的正确匹配特征数量以及影像配准精度。
A matching method for SAR and optical images,robust to pixel noise and nonlinear grayscale differences,is presented.Firstly,a rough correction to eliminate rotation and scale change between images is performed.Secondly,features robust to speckle noise of SAR image are detected by improving the original phase congruency based method.Then,feature descriptors are constructed on the GaussianGamma-shaped edge strength map according to the histogram of oriented gradient pattern.Finally,descriptor similarity and geometrical relationship are combined to constrain the matching processing.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method provides significant improvement in correct matches number and image registration accuracy compared with other traditional methods.
