IMAGE-2006 Mosaic: Geometric and Radiometric Consistency of Input Imagery
Within their domain of overlap, two images may differ in both geometry and radiometry. Consequently, when they are mosaiced, these differences may reveal the position of the seam lines even if they follow salient image structures such as roads and streams. A pair of overlapping images is said to be consistent if they are in agreement to one another in both geometry and radiometry.
In this report, the consistency is measured using correlation computations and linear regressions. Measurements are produced for all existing pairs of overlapping images (given the 3,699 IMAGE-2006 input images, there are 29,447 such pairs). The quality layers of the IMAGE-2006 mosaics rely directly on these measurements. Indeed, the agreement between any pair of adjacent pieces of the mosaic is determined by the consistency measurements calculated within the domain of overlap of the two images leading to these two mosaic pieces.
