An Automatic Registration Method for Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing Images Using Land Cover Patches

Abstract

Abstract:

An automatic registration method for multi-temporal remote sensing images using stable land cover patches was proposed in this paper, taking full advantage of multi-spectral features as well as stable and widespread land cover patches in remote sensing images. Rural regions, where significant land cover changes happened within-and between-year, were chosen as study area, and multi-temporal remote sensing images from same or different sensors were used. Experimental results showed the effectiveness and adaptability on extraction of stable land cover patches of this method, and registration accuracies of 0.57 and 0.65 pixels were achieved.

Key words: Multi-temporal image registration, Stable land cover patches, Patches extraction, Opening operation, Boundary moment invariants
