Abstract

This paper proposes new “hypergeometric” filters for the problem ofimage matching under the translational and affine model. This new setof filters has the following advantages: (1) High-precisionregistration of two images under the translational and affine model.Because the window effects are eliminated, we are able to achievesuperb performance in both translational and affine matching. (2) Affine matching without exhaustive search or image warping. Due tothe recursiveness of the filters in the spatial domain, We are ableto analytically express the relation between filter outputs and thesix affine parameters. This analytical relation enables us todirectly compute these affine parameters. (3) Generality. Theapproach we demonstrate here can be applied to a broad class ofmatching problems as long as the transformation between the two imagepatches can be mathematically represented in the frequency domain.
