Abstract
An image processing apparatus is described comprising a processor configured to access a template of image elements. The processor is configured to search an image which is larger than the template to find a region which is similar to the template, where similarity is measured using a similarity metric. The similarity metric comprises a normalized cross correlation function which is modified to include at least one factor related to a statistic of both the template and the region.
