RESEARCH

“Near real-time Automatic Image Registration” using Mutual Information between multi temporal frame imagery

• Implemented and coded algorithms enabling automated image registration using Mutual Information (MI) as a measure of similarity for feature matching

• Designed and implemented routines for identifying false match points so that image registration is robust with little or no error

• Simulations on MATLAB (Image Processing Toolbox)
