Multimodal Remote Sensing Image Registration: A Comprehensive Review, Challenges and Prospects

Multimodal remote sensing image registration is a crucial prerequisite for the collaborative processing and downstream application of remote sensing data, such as image fusion, change detection, and target recognition.

Key points

  • However, significant variations in radiometry, geometry, scale, viewpoint, and time often exist between multimodal images.
  • These differences, driven by varying sensor geometries, physical radiation mechanisms, imaging platforms, and environmental disturbances, pose severe challenges to achieving high-precision, robust registration.
  • This paper systematically reviews the progress of mainstream multimodal remote sensing image registration methods.
  • Additionally, we summarize publicly available multimodal image datasets in the remote sensing domain, analyzing their specific characteristics and applicable scenarios.
