提出分阶段非刚性配准方法,提升侧扫声呐拼接精度与稳定性。

Coarse-to-Fine Non-Rigid Registration for Side-Scan Sonar Mosaicking

  • 分两阶段:先全局薄板样条初始化,再超像素分割后局部精修
  • 在挑战性数据集上优于现有方法,结构一致性与形变平滑性显著提升
  • 无需任务特定训练,适合大范围海底地图构建场景

侧扫声呐拼接在大范围海底测绘中至关重要,但受复杂非线性、空间变化的畸变影响,现有刚性或仿射配准方法无法建模此类变形,传统非刚性技术则易过拟合并缺乏对稀疏纹理声呐数据的鲁棒性。为此,我们提出一种面向大规模侧扫声呐图像的分阶段层次化非刚性配准框架。方法首先基于稀疏对应关系进行全局薄板样条初始化,随后通过超像素引导分割将图像划分为结构一致的区域,保持地形完整性;每个区域由预训练的SynthMorph网络以无监督方式精细优化,实现密集灵活的对齐且无需任务特定训练;最后通过融合策略将全局与局部形变整合为平滑统一的形变场。大量定量与可视化评估表明,该方法在挑战性声呐数据集上显著优于最先进的刚性、经典非刚性及学习型方法,在准确性、结构一致性和形变平滑性方面表现更优。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Side-scan sonar mosaicking plays a crucial role in large-scale seabed mapping but is challenged by complex non-linear, spatially varying distortions due to diverse sonar acquisition conditions. Existing rigid or affine registration methods fail to model such complex deformations, whereas traditional non-rigid techniques tend to overfit and lack robustness in sparse-texture sonar data. To address these challenges, we propose a coarse-to-fine hierarchical non-rigid registration framework tailored for large-scale side-scan sonar images. Our method begins with a global Thin Plate Spline initialization from sparse correspondences, followed by superpixel-guided segmentation that partitions the image into structurally consistent patches preserving terrain integrity. Each patch is then refined by a pretrained SynthMorph network in an unsupervised manner, enabling dense and flexible alignment without task-specific training. Finally, a fusion strategy integrates both global and local deformations into a smooth, unified deformation field. Extensive quantitative and visual evaluations demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art rigid, classical non-rigid, and learning-based methods in accuracy, structural consistency, and deformation smoothness on the challenging sonar dataset.
