HOLBP: Remote Sensing Image Registration Based on Histogram of Oriented Local Binary Pattern Descriptor.

Image registration has always been an important research topic. This paper proposes a novel method of constructing descriptors called the histogram of oriented local binary pattern descriptor (HOLBP) for fast and robust matching. There are three new components in our algorithm. First, we redefined the gradient and angle calculation template to make it more sensitive to edge information. Second, we proposed a new construction method of the HOLBP descriptor and improved the traditional local binary pattern (LBP) computation template. Third, the principle of uniform rotation-invariant LBP was applied to add 10-dimensional gradient direction information to form a 138-dimension HOLBP descriptor vector. The experimental results showed that our method is very stable in terms of accuracy and computational time for different test images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
