Abstract
A feature extractor determines reference feature locations from a portion of a reference image and corresponding feature locations from a portion of a warp image. A transform module determines a homography transform function that transforms versions of the corresponding feature locations to the reference feature locations. The homography transform function has an error below a threshold level, where the error represents a difference between the transformed corresponding feature locations and the reference feature locations. The local transform module generates transform parameters by processing the homography transform function. A warper circuit warps the portion of the warp image by at least applying the transform parameters to generate a portion of a warped image.
