Low SNR Multiframe Registration for Cubesats
Evan Widloski, Farzad Kamalabadi
We present a registration algorithm which jointly estimates motion and the ground truth image from a set of noisy frames under rigid, constant translation. The algorithm is non-iterative and needs no hyperparameter tuning. It requires a fixed number of FFT, multiplication, and downsampling operations for a given input size, enabling fast implementation on embedded platforms like cubesats where on-board image fusion can greatly save on limited downlink bandwidth. The algorithm is optimal in the maximum likelihood sense for additive white Gaussian noise and non-stationary Gaussian approximations of Poisson noise. Accurate registration is achieved for very low SNR, even when visible features are below the noise floor.
