| Image registration is the process of spatially aligning two or more images of a scene.
This basic capability is needed in various image analysis applications. The alignment
process will determine the correspondence between points in the images, enabling
the fusion of information in the images and the determination of scene changes.
If identities of objects in one of the images are known, by registering the images,
identities of objects and their locations in another image can be determined. Image
registration is a critical component of remote sensing, medical, and industrial image
analysis systems.
This book is intended for image analysis researchers as well as graduate students
who are starting research in image analysis. The book provides details of image
registration, and each chapter covers a component of image registration or an application
of it. Where applicable, implementation strategies are given and related work
is summarized. |
