Popis: Traditional feature matching methods of optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) used gradient are sensitive to non-linear radiation distortions (NRD) and the rotation between two images. To address this problem, this study presents a novel approach to solving the rigid body rotation problem by a two-step process. The first step proposes a deep learning neural network named RotNET to predict the rotation relationship between two images. The second step uses a local feature descriptor based on the Gaussian pyramid named Gaussian pyramid features of oriented gradients (GPOG) to match two images. The RotNET uses a neural network to analyze the gradient histogram of the two images to derive the rotation relationship between optical and SAR images. Subsequently, GPOG is depicted a keypoint by using the histogram of Gaussian pyramid to make one-cell block structure which is simpler and more stable than HOG structure-based descriptors. Finally, this paper designs experiments to prove that the gradient histogram of the optical and SAR images can reflect the rotation relationship and the RotNET can correctly predict them. The similarity map test and the image registration results obtained on experiments show that GPOG descriptor is robust to SAR speckle noise and NRD.
