An Optimal Threshold Registration Algorithm of UAV Color Images Based on SURF

Published: 27 August 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Robustness and accuracy are the two main challenging tasks in feature-based UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) color remote sensing image registration. In this paper, an optimal threshold registration algorithm is proposed. Firstly, a modified descriptor is constructed adding in color information to increase the descriptor's distinctiveness and robustness. Based on the primeval descriptor calculated by SURF, color information is got with color space transformation and is superimposed on the primeval descriptor. Secondly, an optimal threshold method is put forward to increase the accuracy rate. Finally, a novel purification strategy is used to make the result more accurate. A set of measures has been used to evaluate the registration result. Extensive experimental evaluations show that the optimal threshold registration algorithm is robust and accurate.
