Similarity measures and image registration

Last week (Jan. 8th) there was a very interesting meeting in Paris organized together by GdR ISIS and CNES Technical Competence Centers about Vector Fields Estimation and Analysis in Image Processing.

Unfortunately, because of heavy snow in the Toulouse area, I was not able to attend to the meeting for which I had prepared a talk on similarity measures-based image registration. Florence Tupin, organizer of the meeting has kindly put together a web site which contains the program of the meeting together with the slides.

Even though the site is in French, some slides are in English. Mine are here.

There are 3 main parts in my talk. The first one gives a general presentation of the image series co-registration problems. The second part is about similarity measures and the implementation of registration algorithms. The third part presents software for image registration.

Among others, there is a very short presentation of a fine registration application that we are shipping with OTB. More details about this application are available here.
