Run this code by the following procedures:

  1. Open and run "A_main_HLMO.m".
  2. Set the parameters, if the procedures are clearly understood. Otherwise, use the default.
  3. Choose the reference image.
  4. Choose the sensed image.
  5. Wait for the results.

Testing data are available:

  2. HSI: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HZo96qHkWgJtsdWeyQXNqwYf0FUv86nH/view?usp=sharing

** Now this registration algorithm is an old-fashioned one, and we highly recommend checking our updated version of MS-HLMO, which is now available at https://github.com/MrPingQi/MS-HLMO_registration-v2.0
