The invention discloses a different-
source image matching method based on refined feature optimization extraction, which mainly solves the problem of low matching precision in the prior art, and adopts the technical scheme that 1, gradient moduli and directions of an
optical image and an SAR image are calculated by adopting different
gradient operators respectively; 2, completing region-of-interest calibration by utilizing the specific property of the target in the image; 3, according to the result of the step 1, obtaining edge features of the interested areas of the two images, and obtaininga coarse matching affine
transformation matrix between the two images through
template matching; 4, obtaining a transformed
optical image by using the coarse matching affine
transformation matrix, andthen extracting refined features; 5, performing preliminary matching on the refined features, and eliminating singular point interference to obtain a fine matching affine
transformation matrix; and 6, obtaining a final affine transformation relation matrix between the
optical image and the SAR image according to the results of the steps 3 and 5. The method can achieve the precise registration ofa
heterologous image, and can be used for the guidance of an aircraft.
