Abstract :
An investigation of the effect of bistatic angle on the accuracy of registering a monostatic image of a target to a bistatic image of the same target is presented in this paper. Cross-correlation registration degradation is related to the decorrelation of a monostatic image with a bistatic image with respect to bistatic angle. This paper illuminates the absence of an image registration technique that is specifically designed for aspect-diverse bistatic images. Traditional monostatic image registration is not sufficient for bistatic images.
