A Quadtree Algorithm for Template Matching on a Pyramid Computer

Abstract We present an algorithm to perform template matching of an N × N image with an M × M template on a (log N + 1)-levels pyramid computer. The time complexity of the algorithm is upper bounded by α log N + β M 2 , where α and β are constants.
