As the need for automating registration techniques is recognized, we feel that there is a need to survey all the registration methods which may be applicable to Earth and space science problems and to evaluate their performances on alarge variety of existing remote sensing data as well as on simulated data of soon-to-be-flown instruments. In this paper we present the first steps towards this quantitative evaluation: a few automatic image registration algorithms are described and first results of their evaluation are presented for three different datasets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
