Image Registration Using Log Polar Transform and Phase Correlation to Recover Higher Scale 90-105
JIGNESH NATVARLAL SARVAIYA, Dr. Suprava Patnaik, Kajal Kothari
Image registration is an important and fundamental task in image processing used to match two different images. Given two or more different images to be registered, image registration estimates the parameters of the geometrical transformation model that maps the sensed images back to its reference image.
