Abstract :
Image registration is useful for the moving target detection and tracking in the infra-red search and trackers. We present an image registration method based on the maximum likelihood principle. With our approach to the image registration, displacements between frames are calculated using the correlation, and then, the new image is rectified to the reference image by compensating the displacement through two steps of coarse and fine rectifications
