Mutual superimposing of SAR and ground-level shooting images mediated by intermediate multi-altitude images

When satellite-based SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images and images acquired from the ground are registered, they offer a wealth of information such as topographic, vegetation or water surface to be extracted from the ground-level shooting images. Simultaneously, high temporal-resolution and high...

description When satellite-based SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images and images acquired from the ground are registered, they offer a wealth of information such as topographic, vegetation or water surface to be extracted from the ground-level shooting images. Simultaneously, high temporal-resolution and high spatial-resolution information obtained by the ground-level shooting images can be superimposed on satellite images. However, due to the differences in imaging modality, spatial resolutions, and observation angle, it was not easy to directly extract the corresponding points between them. This paper proposes an image registration method to estimate the correspondence between SAR images and ground-level shooting images through a set of multi-altitude images taken at different heights.
