Web-based Automatic Multi-sensor Image Registration
Thanks to the service being implemented under this project, users of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) will be able to improve the registration accuracy of their multi-sensor images. The implementation of this innovative software technology will provide all the advantages of current registration programs, and will also be capable of estimating reference (control) points automatically with great accuracy and no false alarms. The new registration algorithm will be unique in two ways. First, it will enable automatic rather then manual registration of multi-sensor images, which will improve accuracy. Second, it will enable user-defined accuracy-the user will be able to define the degree of acceptable accuracy in terms of pixel spatial resolution. The registration service will be available through a new Web site accessible through CGDI. By bringing more information and greater accuracy to image registration, this service will enable better descriptions of sites and situations, and it may lead to better predictions about their evolution. Improvements in disaster management, environmental monitoring, weather prediction, precision farming, mineral exploitation and defence surveillance applications are just some of the potential spin-offs.
