Images captured by different sensors with different spectral bands cause non-linear intensity changes between image pairs. Classic feature descriptors cannot handle this problem and are prone to yielding unsatisfactory results. Inspired by the illumination and contrast invariant properties of phase congruency, here, we propose a new descriptor to tackle this problem. The proposed descriptor generation mainly involves three steps. (1) Images are convolved with a bank of log-Gabor filters with different scales and orientations. (2) A window of fixed size is selected and divided into several blocks for each keypoint, and an oriented magnitude histogram and the orientation of the minimum moment of a phase congruency-based histogram are calculated in each block. (3) These two histograms are normalized respectively and concatenated to form the proposed descriptor. Performance evaluation experiments on three datasets were carried out to validate the superiority of the proposed method. Experimental results indicated that the proposed descriptor outperformed most of the classic and state-of-art descriptors in terms of precision and recall within an acceptable computational time.
