The invention discloses a multi-sensor
remote sensing image matching method, belongs to the
satellite image processing technology field and solves problems of geometric deformation and
radiation difference of multi-sensor images. The method comprises steps that, a Gauss difference
scale space for images is firstly established, and
characteristic point detection is further carried out in the space; a phase
consistency model having invariant illumination and contrast is introduced, phase consistency
direction information is established and expanded for the phase
consistency model, through a SIFT descriptor concept, a local characteristic descriptor-local phase consistency direction
histogram is established by utilizing a phase consistency characteristic value and the characteristic direction; an European style distance between descriptors is taken as similarity measurement to carry out homonymy point identification, error matching points are eliminated, precise matching for the
remote sensing images is realized. Compared with a traditional matching method, problems of geometric deformation and
radiation difference of the
remote sensing images can be effectively solved,
image matching accuracy is improved, and the multi-sensor remote sensing
image matching method is mainly applied to
satellite image processing.
