TAR: Text Semantic Assisted Cross-modal Image Registration Framework for Optical and SAR Images
Existing deep learning-based methods can capture shared features from optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images for spatial alignment. However, optical-SAR registration remains challenging under large geometric deformations, because the model needs to simultaneously handle cross-modal appearance discrepancies and complex spatial transformations. To address this issue, this paper proposes a text semantic-assisted cross-modal image registration framework, named TAR, for optical and SAR images. TAR exploits text semantic priors from remote sensing scenes and land-cover categories to alleviate the modality gap and enhance cross-modal feature learning. TAR consists of three components: a multi-scale visual feature learning (MSFL) module, a text-assisted feature enhancement (TAFE) module, and a coarse-to-fine dense matching (CFDM) module. MSFL extracts multi-scale visual features from optical and SAR images. TAFE constructs text descriptors related to remote sensing scenes and land-cover objects, and uses a frozen RemoteCLIP text encoder to extract text features. These text features are introduced through visual-text interaction to enhance high-level visual features for more reliable coarse matching. CFDM then establishes coarse correspondences based on the enhanced high-level features and refines the matched locations using low-level features. Experimental results on cross-modal remote sensing images demonstrate the effectiveness of TAR, which achieves stronger matching performance than several state-of-the-art methods and yields significant gains under large geometric deformations.
