With the rapid development of spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar technology, classical image registration methods are incompetent for high-efficiency and high-accuracy masses of real data processing. Based on this fact, we propose a new method. This method consists of two steps: coarse registration that is realized by cross-correlation algorithm and fine registration that is realized by hierarchical model-based algorithm. Hierarchical model-based algorithm is a high-efficiency optimization algorithm. The key features of this algorithm are a global model that constrains the overall structure of the motion estimated, a local model that is used in the estimation process, and a coarse-to-fine refinement strategy. Experimental results from different kinds of simulated and real data have confirmed that the proposed method is very fast and has high accuracy. Comparing with a conventional cross-correlation method, the proposed method provides markedly improved performance.
We present a novel texture feature persistence metric for automatic-target-recognition (ATR)-directed image compression based on the similarity between shapes. On the basis of spatial fuzzy representation of shapes, a similarity metric between shapes is proposed. Then the impact of lossy image compression on ATR performance is measured by the similarity between shapes, which are obtained by identical segmentation and edge extraction of the source image and degraded image after compression. Experimental results show that this metric effectively measures the extent to which target texture features are preserved after compression.
