In high spatial resolution imagery, shadows represent a major source of illumination variation, which can reduce the performance of automated registration routines. This study evaluates the statistical relationship between shadow presence and image registration accuracy, and whether masking and normalizing shadows leads to improved automatic registration results. Eighty-eight bitemporal aerial image pairs were co-registered using software called Scale Invariant Features Transform (SIFT) and Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) Alignment (SARA). Co-registration accuracy was assessed at different levels of shadow coverage and shadow movement within the images. The primary outcomes of this study are (1) the amount of shadow in a multi-temporal image pair is correlated with the accuracy/success of automatic co-registration; (2) masking out shadows prior to match point select does not improve the success of image-to-image co-registration; and (3) normalizing or brightening shadows can help match point routines find more match points and therefore improve performance of automatic co-registration. Normalizing shadows via a standard linear correction provided the most reliable co-registration results in image pairs containing substantial amounts of relative shadow movement, but had minimal effect for pairs with stationary shadows.
