Registration of Textured Remote Sensing Images Using Directional Gabor Frames

In this paper we propose to utilize a new concept of discrete directional Gabor frames for automatic image registration. The directional Gabor representations have been shown to provide more accurate feature extraction than directional wavelet transforms for images where texture is the dominant feature. Initial experimental results are presented here which indicate that discrete directional Gabor frames exhibit strong correlations, which indicates that they are likely to improve the existing image registration toolbox
