Image registration

Question

hello any ideas on how to do a simple image registration (I have IMAGE1 and IMAGE2 takes from the same subject, but with camera moving a little and want to match IMAGE2 with IMAGE1)? I checked MANY softwares to do that, but they're all focused on medical images, so I couldn't input a simple JPEG (one even allowed PGM, but didn't work).

thanks

Answer 1

To solve this problem you need to break it up into managable steps. 1. You have to have a set of similar points (this is typically found by feature detection) or user selection. 2. Once you have the points needed you need to find the transformation matrix between the two images (based on the given points you recieved). 3. Use the transformation matrix to translate one image onto another.

Things That Should Help:

1. Feature Detection Algorithms: SIFT
2. Topic that this is under in computer vision: Photo stitching, Homographies, Image Registration
