Preface

Image registration is the process of finding correspondence between all points in two images of a scene. This correspondence is required in stereo depth perception, 3-D scene reconstruction, object detection and recognition, change detection, image fusion, object tracking and motion analysis. Analysis of two or more images of a scene often depends on the ability to find correspondence between points in the images. This monograph overviews principles, tools and methods in image registration. In addition to reviewing past tools and methods and comparing their performances, new tools and methods are introduced and evaluated. Chapter 1 describes the problem of image registration, identifies the steps involved in registering two images, defines the terminologies used in the book and categorizes image registration methods. This monograph focuses on point-based methods to image registration, although other methods are also reviewed in Chap. 11. Chapter 2 reviews various similarity and dissimilarity measures used to register two im
