New algorithm improves image alignment accuracy using Fourier--Mellin transform

Researchers have developed a new algorithm to accurately align images that have undergone translation, scaling, and rotation. This method improves upon the traditional Fourier--Mellin registration technique, which often struggles with subpixel accuracy. The proposed approach combines scale-and-rotation estimation from the Fourier magnitude spectrum with phase-only correlation maximization using an auxiliary function method, enabling a two-stage process for precise alignment.
