Abstract

Registration of thermal and visible image is a prominent prerequisite for the various medical and industrial image processing. Due to the different imaging principles, the contrast variation and texture are different in the thermal and visible image. In such cases, the automatic registration of thermal and visible image is a crucial step. In this paper, an automatic calibration rig-based registration algorithm is proposed. The calibration rig is used to extract the correspondence pairs in both images. The proposed algorithm finds the corner and centroid of the square in calibration rig which has the same position in world coordinates and same characteristic in thermal and visible image. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is good for the automatic registration without any human intervention.
