Thermal drift of nano-computed tomography (CT) adversely affects the accurate reconstruction of objects. However, feature-based reference scan correction methods are sometimes unstable for images with similar texture and low contrast. In this study, based on the geometric position of features and the structural similarity (SSIM) of projections, a rough-to-refined rigid alignment method is proposed to align the projection. Using the proposed method, the thermal drift artifacts in reconstructed slices are reduced. Firstly, the initial features are obtained by speeded up robust features (SURF). Then, the outliers are roughly eliminated by the geometric position of global features. The features are refined by the SSIM between the main and reference projections. Subsequently, the SSIM between the neighborhood images of features are used to relocate the features. Finally, the new features are used to align the projections. The two-dimensional (2D) transmission imaging experiments reveal that the proposed method provides more accurate and robust results than the random sample consensus (RANSAC) and locality preserving matching (LPM) methods. For three-dimensional (3D) imaging correction, the proposed method is compared with the commonly used enhanced correlation coefficient (ECC) method and single-step discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithm. The results reveal that proposed method can retain the details more faithfully.
