Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image registration method and apparatus, and an image stitching method and device. The image registration method includes: calculating a correlation coefficient image between a reference image and a floating image; calculating a gradient image of the correlation coefficient image; determining a pixel with extreme correlation coefficient in the correlation coefficient image according to a pixel with extreme gradient in the gradient image; and registering the reference image and the floating image according to the pixel with extreme correlation coefficient. The above image registration method and apparatus have high universality, require a small amount of calculation, and can ensure real-time operation and obtain a more accurate registration result. The image stitching method and device are realized based on the image registration method, thereby improving the speed and accuracy.
