Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing images. Clusters of first features identified in a first image are identified. Each cluster in the clusters comprises a first group of features from the first features. A transformation for registering each cluster in the clusters with a corresponding cluster comprising a second group of features from second features identified in a second image is identified using an initial correspondence between the first features in the first image and the second features in the second image. A set of clusters from the clusters of the first features is identified using the transformation identified for each cluster. A final transformation for registering the first image with the second image is identified using the set of clusters.
