An Automatic Algorithm for Infrared and Visible Image Registration Based on Parameter Step Estimation
An automatic registration algorithm between infrared and visible images based on step estimation of affine model parameters is proposed.Firstly
the six degrees of freedom of the affine model are separated into some more easily estimated parameters using matrix orthogonal decomposition method
which are skew
scale ratio
rotation
scaling and translations in
x
and
y
directions.Secondly
two objective functions are constructed for step estimation of these parameters based on the orientation consensus constraint and alignment measure between segments
respectively
and parameter values which make objective function approximate the global optimum are o
btained using SGA (Stud Genetic Algorithm) algorithm.Finally
the estimated values of the parameters are locally refined using Powell algorithm.The experimental results show that the proposed method can make full use of orientation consensus constraint and location distribution information of segments
and realize automatic registration between infrared and visible images efficiently and precisely on condition that two images to be registered contain abundant corresponding segments and diverse distributions of segment orientations.
