Some embodiments of the present invention may relate to a device and a method of enabling an automatic global matching of a plurality of images to provide a substantially consistent planar representation of a fundus. According to some embodiments of the invention, a device for enabling an automatic global matching of a plurality of images to provide a substantially consistent planar representation of a fundus may include a local matching module and a global matching module. The local matching module may be adapted to locally match a pair of overlapping images. As part of locally matching the images, the local matching module may be adapted to provide a best offset vector for the images based upon a matching of features from overlapping portions of the images. The global matching module may be adapted to globally match at least a triplet of locally matching pairs of images whose best offset vector sum is substantially zero.

Device, method and system for automatic montage of segmented retinal images

Some embodiments of the present invention may relate to a device and a method of enabling the stabilization of a series of retinal angiography images to provide a coherent serial display, the method comprising: locally matching a pair of overlapping images, said locally matching includes at least providing a best offset vector for the images, wherein the best offset vector is provided based upon a matching of features from overlapping portions of the images; globally matching at least a triplet of matching pairs of images, wherein pairs of globally matching images include locally matching pairs whose best offset vector sum is substantially zero; choosing a key image; and aligning all the remaining images to the key image.
