Multi sensor image matching using super symmetric affinity tensors based hypergraph matching

Abstract

Image Matching technique is regularly on one of the main errands in numerous Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing applications. Based on multi-discipline, the approach of multiple sensor image matching is a novel one established which has vital application in military, civil, medicinal, and certain other domains. However, image matching approach faces numerous challenges, specifically in multi-sensor images where the images are gathered from the different sensor with different intensities, scales, and moments. Thus, a novel image matching approach is introduced in this paper using affinity tensor and HyperGraph Matching (HGM) technique that attempts to overcome certain drawbacks in matching and increases performance accuracy. Hypergraph matching techniques are employed using affinity tensors and consider supersymmetric property during construction. Graphs are constructed using graph theory for both sources, and target image and matching is done using third-order tensors. The experimental outcomes displayed that the proposed technique has good recall, precision, and positive accuracy values compared to the existing two descriptors based and tensor-based matching algorithms.
