Registration of video sequences from multiple sensors
Ravi K. Sharma, Misha Pavel · 1997
In this paper, we describe an approach for registration of video sequences from a suite of multiple sensors including television, infrared and radar. Video sequences generated by these sensors may contain abrupt changes in local contrast and inconsistent image features, which pose additional difficulties for registration. Our approach to registration addresses the difficulties caused by using multiple sensors. We use a representation for registration that is invariant to local contrast changes, followed by smoothing of the resulting error measure used for registration, for robust estimation of registration parameters. We use an iterative procedure to reduce the effect of inconsistent features. Finally, we describe a method that uses samesensor registration to aide in performing registration of sequences of video frames across multiple sensors. 1 Introduction Image registration is a critical component of multi-sensor systems that typically use different types of sensors. An example of ...
