Abstract

This paper proposes a local-correlation method that makes it possible to bring aerospace images into coincidence with subpixel accuracy after preliminary rough juxtaposition by transforming them relative to each other by uniform projective transformation and by additional mutual local displacements. The basis of the method is to establish a correspondence between the points of a pair of images by means of a phase correlation of individual segments of the images. The dissemination of information concerning measured shifts from reference points for which the correspondence has been found on a pair of images, as well as the use of analysis with variable spatial resolution, makes the method workable when the errors of the preliminary superposition are greater than the size of the correlation window. This paper presents the results of an experimental verification of the approach, using actual pairs of aerospace images as an example.© 2004 Optical Society of America
