Auto-registration of medium and high spatial resolution satellite images by integrating improved SIFT and spatial consistency constraints

Feature-based methods have been developed in the past decades for the registration of optical satellite images. However, it is still a challenging problem to handle well the registration between medium and high spatial resolution images due to the large difference of the spatial structural features and local details for the same objects. In this study, an automated co-registration technique is proposed that integrates an improved SIFT (I-SIFT) and a novel matching strategy called spatial consistency constraints (SCC) to cope with the large difference in spatial resolutions between the image pair. Three constraints on angle, distance, and ratio are introduced to re the initial matching features obtained by I-SIFT. Three groups of experiments were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experiments used high resolution multispectral and panoramic SPOT 5/6 images and Landsat 5/8 orthorectification images. Experimental results show that the registration error lies in about 1 pixel of high-resolution images and demonstrate that the proposed I-SIFT-SCC approach is suitable for fine registration of optical satellite images from medium spatial resolution to high spatial resolution with resolution ratio up to 6.

三维姿态监测技术在地震测井中的应用

在地震测井施工中,为监测地下检波器的运动特征,需应用三维监测技术。首先从映射几何的角度深入分析OpenGL的三维监测技术,建立OpenGL虚拟场景,然后分析检波器模型内外方位元素的表达,利用三维绘图技术建立检波器的立体模型,最后对所获取的坐标数据进行快速的三维绘图技术处理,形成实时可靠的立体模拟界面。实验结果表明:检波器的方位角模拟精确度能保证在1°以内,满足后期简化数据处理的要求。该技术应用在地震测井中时,具有远程、可靠、无损检测等特点,为操作人员提供直观可靠的观测决策平台,并且结合实际需求能够扩展多种功能模块,可广泛应用于测井过程中方位数据的获取。     

探讨加强质量监督管理提高电网安全水平

电网的安全水平主要取决于其使用产品的质量是否过关。如果产品的质量较好，则能建造出优质的电网，电网的安全水平便会随之提高。因此，应加强对产品质量的监督管理，从而提高电网的安全水平。我们可建立质量监督管理系统，及时抽检出质量不过关的产品，从而消除电网运行过程中潜在的安全隐患。
