Abstract PDF: Satellite imagery is being used to monitor the Earth, as it allows for the continuous provision of multi-temporal observations with consistent quality. To analyze time series remote sensing data with high accuracy, the process of image registration must be conducted beforehand. Image registration techniques are mainly divided into region-based registration and feature-based registration, and both techniques extract the same points based on the similarity of spectral characteristics and object shapes between master and slave images. In addition, recently, deep learning-based siamese neural network and convolutional neural network models have been utilized to match images. This has high performance compared to previous non-deep learning algorithms, but a very large amount of data is required to train a deep learning-based image registration model. In this study, we aim to generate a dataset for training a deep learning-based optical image registration model. To build the data, we acquired Satellite Side-Looking (S2Looking) data, an open dataset, and performed preprocessing and data augmentation on the data to create input data. After that, we added offsets to the X and Y directions between the master and slave images to create label data. The preprocessed input data and labeled data were used to build a dataset suitable for image registration. The data is expected to be useful for training deep learning-based satellite image registration models.
