Title:
spline-basedImageRegistration Download
Description: The problem of image registration subsumes a number of problems and techniques in multiframe
image analysis, including the computation of optic flow (general pixel-based motion), stereo
correspondence, structure from motion, and feature tracking. We present a new registration
algorithm based on spline representations of the displacement field which can be specialized to
solve all of the above mentioned problems. In particular, we show how to compute local flow,
global (parametric) flow, rigid flow resulting from camera egomotion, and multiframe versions of
the above problems. Using a spline-based description of the flow removes the need for overlapping
correlation windows, and produces an explicit measure of the correlation between adjacent flow
estimates. We demonstrate our algorithm on multiframe image registration and the recovery of 3D
projective scene geometry. We also provide results on a number of standard motion sequences.
