Abstract

A method of coregistering images is disclosed. Two dimensional images are first preprocessed, including clipping values in each image to a specified standard value range, and then applying a local equalization technique to the clipped images. Feature extraction is then performed to identify one or more features in the images. One or more of the extracted features are then matched between images to determine a degree of overlap between the images and a relationship between image coordinates of the images. The images are then transformed to a common coordinate system based on the degree of overlap and the relationship between their image coordinates. The images are then combined to form a single image.
