A Novel Dual-Branch Global and Local Feature Extraction Network for SAR and Optical Image Registration by Xuanran Zhao, Yan Wu, Xin Hu, Zhikang Li, Ming Li

“…First, considering the ability of the transformer for long-range dependence and the advantages of convolutional neural network for local feature extraction, GLFE-Net designs two branches: one uses an attention-discarded global feature extraction transformer (ADG Transformer) to extract global features from the entire SAR and optical images, and another uses a partial convolution unit with parameter-free attention mechanism (PCU-AM) to extract local features from the patches around the keypoints. …”
