Abstract
A method and apparatus for registering two images from different sensors including receiving a first and second image, detecting hot spots in the first and second images, respectively, pairing each of the hot spots in the first image with all the hot spots in the second image that are within a predetermined mapping distance to produce a mapping between the hot spots of the first and second images, refining the mapping produced by selecting one of the hot spots of the second image for each of the hot spots of the first image utilizing a least mean squares method, producing a registered image from the refined mapping, and outputting the registered image.
