Phase Correlation Sub-pixel Image Feature Matching for Wider Military and Civil Applications

This paper summarises the recent progress of SEAS DTC project SEN001. The C++ stand alone PCIAS (Phase Correlation Image Analysis System) software package has been developed with new phase correlation based functions for rapid target speed measurement and pixel-to-pixel precise image co-registration for quantitative change detection. The software has realistic potential for military applications and has been used for scientific research on earthquake induced earth deformation
