Background
In recent years, the polarization imaging technology is widely applied to various fields by virtue of the advantages of highlighting targets, penetrating cloud mist, distinguishing authenticity and the like. On the basis of intensity detection, the technology can enhance the edge contour characteristics of the target and improve the target detection and identification capability in the low signal-to-noise ratio environment by utilizing the polarization characteristic difference of the target and the background radiation light wave. Meanwhile, different types of polarization imaging instruments are developed and used in the fields of material classification, target recognition, atmospheric detection, biological diagnosis and the like. The time-sharing polarization imaging system collects intensity images in different polarization directions at different moments by adopting a mode of rotating a polarizing film, calculates a plurality of images to obtain infrared polarization information of a target, has the advantages of low cost, high extinction ratio, simple and convenient structure and the like, and is well applied to the field of aerospace. In order to realize real-time polarization imaging detection in a changing scene, a time-sharing high-frame-frequency polarization imaging system needs to be developed, the speed of the output polarization image reaches 50 frames/second, and the polarization information of a target scene can be rapidly acquired, however, in the process of polarization imaging of a dynamic target, intensity images in different polarization directions at different moments have certain position difference. If the polarization information is characterized based on these images with position difference, false polarization characteristics about the target will be generated. Therefore, the obtained intensity images with different polarization directions must be quickly and accurately registered, so that real-time and accurate polarization information about the target is calculated, and the capability of detecting and identifying the target in real time is improved.

For a time-sharing high frame rate polarization imaging system, a corresponding registration method is particularly required to have the characteristic of real-time and high speed. Obviously, the existing polarized image registration methods cannot meet these requirements.
Therefore, in view of the above disadvantages, it is desirable to provide a new fast registration method for polarized images with high noise immunity, especially with real-time characteristics.

All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of the present invention.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, the method for rapidly registering polarization images based on ORB feature points according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
first, in step S1, at least two intensity images of the target in different polarization directions are obtained, and a reference image and an image to be registered are determined.
Specifically, a plurality of intensity images of different polarization directions in a target scene are continuously acquired by using a polarization detection system, wherein M +1 intensity images { I }are acquired in total(0),I(1),I(2),…,I(M)H × W for each intensity image, wherein H, W are the height and width of the image, respectively. In the multiple intensity images, one of the intensity images can be arbitrarily selected as a reference image, and the rest of the intensity images are used as images to be registered, optionally, the intensity image I (c) is selected0) As reference image, the remaining M intensity images { I }(m)M1, 2.. M, as the image to be registered. For example, 3 intensity images { I) with polarization directions of 0 degrees, 60 degrees and 120 degrees respectively in a target scene are continuously acquired by using a time-sharing high frame frequency polarization detection system(0),I(1),I(2)The size of the 3 intensity images is 640 multiplied by 512; selecting an intensity image I (0) That is, the image with the polarization angle of 0 ° is used as the reference image, and the remaining 2 intensity images are used as the images to be registered.
Subsequently, in step S2, feature points in the reference image and the image to be registered are extracted by the ORB algorithm, respectively.
The ORB is a very good method capable of extracting and describing image feature points in real time, and the matching accuracy based on the ORB feature points is comparable to the traditional widely-used SIFT (scale imperial feature transform) method, but the registration speed is nearly 10 times of SIFT. Meanwhile, the ORB features have invariance to target rotation, scale scaling, brightness change and the like, so that the ORB features have strong robustness or anti-noise characteristics.
In the invention, the ORB algorithm is adopted to respectively extract the reference images I(0)Characteristic point of

By adopting the ORB method, the effective characteristics of the polarization image can be extracted rapidly and robustly, so that the noise immunity of the method can be improved, and the high-precision registration of the polarization image can be realized.
In step S3, a fast nearest neighbor search algorithm is used to construct a search tree of the feature points of the reference image, and feature point pairs matching the reference image and the image to be registered are constructed according to the search tree.

Representing images to be registered I(m)J th characteristic point and reference image I(0)The kth feature point is matched, k ∈ {1,2, …, N0}. The Hamming distance between the two feature descriptors is calculated as follows, namely, the corresponding positions of the two feature descriptors are subjected to exclusive OR operation one by one and then summed.
Compared with a Local Sensitive Hash (LSH) algorithm with fixed parameters widely adopted in the prior art, the FLANN algorithm adopted by the invention is a self-adaptive or data-driven fast search algorithm for high-dimensional binary data, and can dynamically adjust a construction method and a fast search strategy of a search tree according to the number of characteristic points in an image and the characteristic dimensions thereof, thereby realizing faster search. In addition, the data driving characteristics also enable the method to be dynamically adaptive to complex and changeable polarized image matching scenes (for example, the number of characteristic points in the polarized images of different scenes is greatly different), and the robustness and the adaptability of the polarized image rapid matching method are enhanced.
It should be noted that, when there are at least two images to be registered, the most similar feature points can be searched for the feature points of all the images to be registered in parallel according to the constructed search tree of the feature points of the reference image, so that the matching between the feature point pairs of all the images to be registered and the reference image can be realized quickly.
In some more preferred embodiments, constructing pairs of feature points that match in the image to be registered and the reference image further includes: and filtering the characteristic point pairs with the Hamming distance between the characteristic points larger than a preset threshold value in the constructed characteristic point pairs. In the present invention, the preset threshold may be twice the minimum hamming distance, where the minimum hamming distance refers to the minimum hamming distance between the feature point pairs constructed as described above.
