High-accuracy band to band registration method for multi-spectral images of HJ-1A/B

Abstract

Band-to-band registration accuracy is an important parameter of multispectral data. A novel band-to-band registration approach with high precision is proposed for the multi-spectral images of HJ-1A/B. Firstly, the main causes resulted in misregistration are analyzed, and a high-order polynomial model is proposed. Secondly, a phase fringe filtering technique is employed to Phase Correlation Method based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD-PCM) for reducing the noise in phase difference matrix. Then, experiments are carried out to build nonlinear registration models, and images of green band and red band are aligned to blue band with an accuracy of 0.1 pixels, while near infrared band with an accuracy of 0.2 pixels.
