A new integer and reversible color transform for an efficient extension of phase correlation method to color images

The standard phase correlation method has been known as a powerful image processing technique for grey levels image registration and motion estimation, yet its use has, in general, been limited to grey level images. Here, we propose an efficient extension of phase correlation technique, with global and inter color channel measures. Our proposed extension is based on a new reversible and integer color space transformation.
