An Area based Technique for Image-to-Image Registration of Multi-Modal Remote Sensing Data

Abstract

This paper outlines further tests of the automatic image-to-image registration technique of Bunting et al with the inclusion of joint histogram image similarity metrics. These metrics were expected to increase the accuracy of the algorithms results given that previous literature has highlighted these metrics as optimal for multi-modal registration. But, this study has demonstrated the opposite with the correlation coefficient producing better matching results than the mutual information, kolmogorov distance and distance to independence metrics.
