Abstract

Image registration is the process of aligning two or more images into a common coordinate system. The images can be of the same object taken at different time instants or angles or by different sensors. The images can also be of different objects. The applications of image registration include medical image analysis, neuroscience, computer vision, astrophysics, military applications etc.  Many methods are currently available for image registration. It is also necessary to estimate the accuracy of the image registration process. In this paper we review the different image registration methods as well as the validation techniques.
