Overview

As presented in our papers, the MATLAB code implements relative radiometric normalization methods for unregistered satellite image pairs based on the WSST-SURF detector descriptors. The WSST-SURF has been developed on the great function OPENSURF, an implementation of SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features)SURF by Dr. Dirk-Jan Kroon (Dirk-Jan Kroon (2024). OpenSURF (including Image Warp) (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28300-opensurf-including-image-warp), MATLAB Central File Exchange.

For code and datasets, please take a look at the supplementary material.

Dependencies and Environment

The codes are developed and tested in MATLAB R2020a, with both OpenCV.3.4.1 and the VLFeat open-source libraries on a desktop computer with Intel(R) Core (TM) i7 CPU @ 2.40 GHz, 16.00GB RAM, running the Windows 10. To use the codes, you need some prerequisites as follows:

• MATLAB 2018b or upper
• OpenCV (3.4.1) jsut for cv.affinetransformation
• VLFeat 0.9.21 (https://www.vlfeat.org/)

Having the required build tools for Windows and Visual Studio would be best. Please see https://github.com/kyamagu/mexopencv for instructions on downloading and installing OpenCV on your MATLAB software. Also, please see the https://www.vlfeat.org/ for downloading and installing VLFeat 0.9.21.

Getting Started

After installing OpenCV 3.4.1 and VLFeat 0.9.21, it is enough to use only main.m for a quick start.

Acknowledgment

I sincerely thank Dr. Dirk-Jan Kroon and Professor Vedaldi for their codes at every research project stage.
