Abstract
The similarity calculation device is provided with a displacement vector estimation unitfor estimating a displacement vector between a first local region set in a first image, and a second local region which is most similar to the first local region in a second image, a geometric transformation parameter estimation unitfor estimating a geometric transformation parameter which geometrically transforms the first image into the second image, a displacement vector correction unitfor correcting the displacement vector based on the geometric transformation parameter, a scoring unitfor scoring the displacement vector, corrected by the displacement vector correction unit, in a two-dimensional space and creating a scored image, a peak detection unitfor detecting a peak in the scored image, and a similarity calculation unitfor calculating a similarity of the first image and the second image according to a size of the peak.
