First Evaluation of Parallel Methods of Automatic Global Image Registration Based on Wavelets

Abstract

With the increasing importance of multiple multiplatform remote sensing missions, fast and automatic integration of digital data from disparate sources has become critical to the success of these endeavors. Firstly, an overview of development of automatic and parallel global image registration is given. And then, based on the analyses of existing three parallel methods of wavelet-based global registration, a new parallel strategy is proposed. Moreover, towards the quantitative evaluation, first results of the intercomparision of four parallel global registration algorithms are presented in theory and in experiments.
