航空面阵图像拼接的累积误差消除方法

Accumulated error elimination method of aerial array image stitching

  • 摘要: 针对航空面阵遥感图像拼接算法一般存在误差累积的问题,提出了航空面阵图像拼接的累积误差消除方法。首先,利用航空遥感平台位置信息与姿态信息完成每幅图像投影变换与粗拼接,确保了每幅投影变换后图像拼接误差的独立性,从而避免了误差累积现象;然后,采用SIFT算法提取粗拼接相邻图像重叠区域的同名像点对,并根据同名像点对的位置差异,按照误差均分的原则,逐张独立地进行坐标微调及坐标精调,直到满足一定精度为止,以提高图像拼接精度,同时避免坐标调整时产生的误差累积。最后,通过主观评价(对比校正后卫星图像和文中拼接效果图像的地理对应关系)和客观评价(SSIM算法)对图像拼接质量进行评价。理论分析与实验结果表明:该方法能有效规避图像拼接中的误差累积问题,相对当前主要拼接方法,能够很好地与地理空间二维坐标保持一致性,且具有很好的实用价值和应用前景。

     

    Abstract: Aiming at the problem of error accumulation in aerial array remote sensing image stitching algorithms, a method for eliminating cumulative errors in aerial array image stitching was proposed. First of all, the attitude information and position information of the aerial remote sensing platform were used to complete the projection transformation of each image and rough image stitching. The independence of image’s error in stitching after each projection transformation was ensured. Thereby the error accumulation in image stitching was avoided. Then, the SIFT algorithm was used to extract the image matching pairs point in the overlapping area of the rough stitching adjacent images. According to the position difference between matching pairs of adjacent images, the principle of error sharing was adopted, and independent slightly adjust and coordinate fine-tuning were performed one by one. Until a certain accuracy was met, the accuracy of image stitching was improved and the accumulation of errors was avoided at the same time. Finally, the image quality was evaluated by combining with subjective evaluation (Compare the geographic correspondence between the corrected satellite image and the stitched image in this article) and the objective evaluation (in SSIM algorithm). The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that this method can effectively avoid the problem of error accumulation in aerial array remote sensing image stitching. Compared with the current main splicing methods, this method can maintain consistency with the two-dimensional coordinates of geographic space, and has good practical value and application prospects.
