Efficient Implementation of Image Registration Based on Feature Tracking

Image registration is a process of overlaying various images of a scene. This process has four basic steps. In this work we have replaced a feature matching step with efficient and fast feature tracking. Several problems, arose due to this technique, are discussed and their solutions are proposed. The proposed algorithm is then tested on various sequences of images.
