Nearly all existing image registration algorithms are based on the full information (e.g., intensity and/or features) carried by the images being registered. Such a full-image-based strategy can achieve high-precision registration (e.g., at the subpixel level) but at the expense of long computation times, especially for high spatial resolution remote-sensing (RS) images. This letter presents a novel subimage-based registration method that is expected to dramatically reduce the time consumption but still meet subpixel accuracy requirements. The ...
