PSOSAC: Particle Swarm Optimization Sample Consensus Algorithm for Remote Sensing Image Registration

Image registration is an important preprocessing step for many remote sensing image processing applications, and its result will affect the performance of the follow-up procedures. Establishing reliable matches is a key issue in point matching-based image registration. Due to the significant intensity mapping difference between remote sensing images, it may be difficult to find enough correct matches from the tentative matches. In this letter, particle swarm optimization (PSO) sample consensus algorithm is proposed for remote sensing image registration. Different from random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm, the proposed method directly samples the modal transformation parameter rather than randomly selecting tentative matches. Thus, the proposed method is less sensitive to the correct rate than RANSAC, and it has the ability to handle lower correct rate and more matches. Meanwhile, PSO is utilized to optimize parameter as its efficiency. The proposed method is tested on several multisensor remote sensing image pairs. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method yields a better registration performance in terms of both the number of correct matches and aligning accuracy.
