A Survey: Methods of Feature Based Image Registration

Abstract — Image registration is the fundamental task used to match two or more partially overlapping images and stitch these images into one panoramic image comprising the whole scene. To register two or more different images, image registration estimates the parameters of the geometrical transformation model that maps the sensed images back to its reference image. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature available on Feature based Image registration methods. The reviewed approach is based on the methods used in different applications of Image Registration. This paper also covers the advantages and disadvantages of the methods mentioned in the paper.
