Abstract
A method of matching images A and B of the same scene taken at different locations in the scene is provided by matching correspondence points in the image by evaluating pixel characteristics from nearby regions using a constellation of image chips and utilizing joint information across multiple resolution levels in a probability framework. Since each image chip is small, each chip in one image potentially can be matched with a number of chips in the other image. The accumulation of evidence (probability) over all image chips within the constellation over multiple resolution levels reduces the ambiguity. The use of a constellation of image chips removes the requirement present in most visual point matching techniques to special feature points (e.g. corner points) as the correspondence points.
