Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of visible and IR(infrared) ship target image registration with scale changes. We mainly focus on the infrared and visible image feature extraction and matching method. A method based on Force Field Transformation is used to determine the ship target contour area. Canny edge detection method is applied to obtain the edge features. During the process of image registration, we take the cross-correlation as the similarity measure and propose an improved Powell algorithm based on multi-scale searching to optimize the registration parameters. Through the edge fusion results, we can see the corresponding edges are almost overlapped, indicating that the method could achieve satisfying results. Also the average error distance of match is less than one pixel.
