Abstract
Image registration methods and systems for automatically registering images of different perspectives, and where a sensor image is registered with a more precise reference image such that the geocoding of the reference image can be transferred to the sensor image.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a sensor to generate a sensor image of a first scene;
- and
- a reference image database to include a reference image of a second scene, the reference image encompassing the sensor image;
- and
- at least one processor to
- identify the portion of the reference image depicted in the sensor image,
- define an area of the reference image based on the reference image portion,
- conform the sensor image and the reference image area to a common perspective by transforming a perspective of at least one of the sensor image and the reference image area, and
- match the images of common perspective.

A method implemented by a computer having memory and at least one processor, said method comprising the steps of:
- generating a sensor image of a first scene with a sensor mounted on a platform;
- accessing a reference image of a second scene, said reference image encompassing said sensor image;
- identifying the portion of the reference image depicted in the sensor image;
- defining an area of the reference image based on said reference image portion;
- and
- conforming said sensor image and said reference image area to a common perspective by transforming the perspective of at least one of said sensed image and said reference image area;
- and
- matching said images of common perspective.
