High-Accuracy Subpixel Image Registration Based on Phase-Only Correlation

This paper presents a high-accuracy image registration technique using a Phase-Only Correlation (POC) function. Conventional techniques of phase-based image registration employ heuristic methods in estimating the location of the correlation peak, which corresponds to image displacement. This paper proposes a technique to improve registration performance by fitting the closed-form analytical model of the correlation peak to actual two-dimensional numerical data. This method can also be extended to a spectrum weighting POC technique, where we modify cross-phase spectrum with some weighting functions to enhance registration accuracy. The proposed method makes possible to estimate image displacements with 1/100-pixel accuracy. key words: image registration, subpixel registration, image matching, phase-only correlation, phase correlation
