A Multilevel Point-Matching Algorithm Based on Hierarchical Feature Detection and Description for SAR-to-Optical Image Registration

High-precision registration of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical images based on point features remains a particularly challenging task, as the detection and description of feature points are susceptible to nonlinear radiometric distortions and SAR speckle noise. For this purpose, a multile...
