Example-based Image Registration by Statistical Reach Feature

Based on the Statistical Reach Feature method, a image registration method which has the robustness for disturbances (e.g. illumination variation, noise) is proposed. The proposed method is based on the selection of point-pairs with stochastic consistency of sign of intensity difference. The robustness of the selected point-pairs is guaranteed from the statistical point of view. The detailed description of the proposed method is given, together with the statistical analysis. Also, the experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
