Image registration for remote sensing

Jacqueline Le Moigne, Nathan S. Netanyahu, Roger D. Eastman

"Image registration is a digital processing discipline that studies how to bring two or more digital images into precise alignment for analysis and comparison. Accurate registration algorithms are essential in supporting Earth and planetary scientists as they mosaic remote sensing satellite images and track changes of the planet's surface over time for environmental, political and basic science studies. The book brings together invited contributions by 36 distinguished researchers in the field to present a coherent and detailed overview of current research and practice in the application of image registration to satellite imagery. The chapters cover the problem definition, theoretical issues in accuracy and efficiency, fundamental algorithms used in its solution, and real world case studies of image registration software applied to imagery from operational satellite systems.
