Satellites generally have arrays of sensors having different resolution and wavelength parameters. For some applications, images acquired from different viewpoints and positions are required to be aligned. This alignment process could be achieved by matching the image features followed by image registration. In this paper registration of multispectral satellite images using Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) method is examined. The performance of SURF for registration of high resolution satellite images captured at different bands is evaluated. Scale restriction (SR) method, which has recently been proposed for SIFT, is adapted to SURF to improve multispectral image registration performance. Matching performance between different bands using SURF, U-SURF, SURF with SR and U-SURF with SR is tested and robustness of these with respect to orientation and scale is evaluated.

Alignment of uncalibrated images for multi-view classification
Arık, Sercan Ömer; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2011-12-29)
Efficient solutions for the classification of multi-view images can be built on graph-based algorithms when little information is known about the scene or cameras. Such methods typically require a pairwise similarity measure between images, where a common choice is the Euclidean distance. However, the accuracy of the Euclidean distance as a similarity measure is restricted to cases where images are captured from nearby viewpoints. In settings with large transformations and viewpoint changes, alignment of im...
High-resolution multispectral satellite image matching using scale invariant feature transform and speeded up robust features
TEKE, Mustafa; Vural, M. Firat; Temizel, Alptekin; Yardimci, Yasemin (2011-09-23)
Satellite images captured in different spectral bands might exhibit nonlinear intensity changes at the corresponding spatial locations due to the different reflectance responses for these bands. This affects the image registration performance negatively as the corresponding features might have different properties in different bands. We propose a modification to the widely used scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) method to increase the correct feature matching ratio and to decrease the computation time...
Outlier robust filters and their multiple model extensions
Şahin Bozgan, İlknur; Özkan, Emre; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
Kalman filter (KF), which is an algorithm that is utilized to estimate unknown variables based on noisy measurements, has been successfully employed in many applications such as navigation, control, signal processing and target tracking. It is the optimum Bayesian filter in terms of mean square error (MSE) for linear Gaussian state-space models (SSMs). However, in many real world applications, the performance of KF degrades due to the presence of outliers in noises. Motivated by this problem, several algori...
Nonlinear controller designs for a reaction wheel actuated observatory satellite
Doruk, Reşat Özgür; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this research, nonlinear attitude controllers are designed for a low earth orbit satellite intended to be used in observatory missions. The attitude is represented by the Modified Rodriguez Parameters (MRP) which is a minimal representation providing a fully invertible kinematics. As a difference from the classical satellite models existent in the literature, the model of this work incorporates the dynamics of the reaction wheel (actuator) including a brushless dc motor which is armature controlled. The ...
Modelling of X-Band electromagnetic wave propagation
Pelgur, Ali; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Calculation of electromagnetic wave propagation over irregular terrain is an important problem in many applications such as coverage calculations for radars or communication links. Many different approaches to this problem may be found in the literature. One of the most commonly used methods to solve electromagnetic boundary value problems is the Method of Moments (MoM). However, especially at high frequencies, the very large number of unknows required in the MoM formulation, limits the applicability of thi...
