| description | Registration of remote sensing images has been approached using different strategies; one of the most popular is based on similarity measures. There are different measures of similarity in the literature: Normalized cross-correlation (NCC), mutual information (MI), etc. Normalized mutual information (NMI) has received the most attention in image processing; among the most important limitations are its high computational cost and lack of robustness to strong radiometric changes. For this reason, in this work, we introduce a coregistration approach based on the histogram kernel predictability (HKP). This formulation reduces numerical errors and requires less computing time in comparison to NMI. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work for registering any remote sensing images by using HKP. Additionally, we propose to use an algorithm based on meta-heuristics called evolutionary centers algorithm, which allows having fewer iterations to solve the registration problem. In addition, we incorporate a parallelization scheme that permits reducing processing times. The results show that our proposal can solve coregistration problems that the NMI cannot solve while obtaining competitive computational times and registration errors comparable with other existing works in the literature. The HKP approach solves most of all the transformations of a set of simulated registration problems, while the NMI, in some cases, only solves half of the registration problems. Moreover, we compare our approach with feature-based methods in real datasets. This research presents an alternative to remote sensing problems where MI has traditionally been used. |
