Matching and registration method for remote sensing images

The paper describes a general purpose algorithm for registration and matching of remote sensing images using a least square fitting procedure based on a modified Besl algorithm [Besl and Mckey, 1992]. An example from the Ottawa 1 area illustrates the procedure.
